Hi, I am living in Dammam as of now and was told there was some microlight flying happening in Jeddah. Can I have some update on that, like location, price, timings, dates and best time to do it.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers.

I go for lunch to Red Sea mall daily and the location where microlight flying is just opposite to the mall on Malek Road but i havent noticed any activity recently and not sure if they are still active. So pls enquire before making a move.

The one east of the red sea mall has lots of activities going on early mornings between 6-7am

Thank you all for the updates.

dragonladyoz - I had seen the blog by susie and thats how I came to know microlight flying was there in Jeddah. Whatever info I could find was outdated and therefore I wanted to make sure from people in Jeddah first hand if it was still there.

Thank you so much for west-sky.com "Which Witch" now if only I can find a way to make it in English.

Ehtesham - Red Sea mall - I'll chk it out.

ahmadaq - thanks for the timing.
