We had a wonderful lunch at Howida’s beautiful Hejazi house in Jeddah. From the moment we arrived, she and her family welcomed us with such warmth and hospitality that we immediately felt at home. The house itself is stunning: full of local charm, history, and traditional decor that made the whole experience even more special. The food was absolutely delicious, showcasing the best of Hejazi cuisine with rich flavors and fresh ingredients. Beyond the meal, what made the experience unforgettable was the chance to learn about the culture, family traditions, and the meaning behind each dish. It felt personal, authentic, and truly memorable. Thank you, Howida, for opening your home and heart to us. This experience is a must for anyone wanting to connect with Saudi culture in a genuine and meaningful way.

Through the Hi.Home app, I had the unforgettable privilege of being welcomed into the home of a warm and gracious Saudi family. Experiencing the Hejaz-inspired decor, exploring the rich layers of Saudi culture, and savoring the exceptional local cuisine was truly inspiring. The journey became even more meaningful as I discovered shared elements of culture, food, and language between our countries—an incredible reminder of our common bonds. I am honored to say I now have a sister in Jeddah. My deepest gratitude goes to my Saudi hosts for making me feel as if I were with lifelong friends.Thank you for an experience that will remain with me always.Greetings from Türkiye
