Alright, so I needed to figure out the time in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it’d be, so I’m documenting my little adventure here.
First Attempt – The Naive Google Search
I started by just googling “local time in Jeddah”. You know, the usual. I figured Google would just spit out the answer like it normally does. But nope, not this time. I got a bunch of websites, and I had to click through to actually see the time.
I picked one called “*” or something, which was alright. It gave me the time, and also some other info about the sunrise and time zone. But I wanted something more direct.
Second Try – Digging Deeper
Next, I found another site, “The Time Now”. This one was better. It did show the time right away, and it had this “geoinfo” thing that seemed useful. I guess if I was traveling, this would be handy.
What I found was:
- Jeddah is in the Arabia Standard Time zone.
- It’s 3 hours ahead of UTC.
Hitting a Wall – Too Much Info
Then I stumbled upon a page that had a list of cities. I thought, “Great, maybe I can find other cities in Saudi Arabia and compare.” But it was just a huge list, and honestly, I got a bit lost. It wasn’t what I needed at that moment. So, I moved on.
Final Success – Simple and To the Point
Finally, I landed on a page that was just about the time in Jeddah. No extra fluff, just the current time. Perfect! It also mentioned that Jeddah doesn’t observe daylight saving time, which is good to know. I got all the basic info I needed without having to dig through a ton of unnecessary stuff.
So, yeah, that was my little journey to find the time in Jeddah. Not exactly rocket science, but it was a good reminder that sometimes, the simplest solution is the best. And hey, now I’ve got a few websites bookmarked for the next time I need to know the time in Saudi Arabia. Hope this helps someone else out there!
