Jeddah summer festival a success

The tourism festival, which began on August 16 and ended on August 25, succeeded beyond all expectations, according to FarookTarabsoni, head of the tourism department in the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The tourism committee at Jeddah Chamber of commerce and industry has spearheaded efforts to help lure more tourists to the city by hosting a variety of functions at different locations.

"This is one of the most enjoyable seasons so far," one of the city's residents said while enjoying one of sports events which took place early last week.
