Touareg...



The Saudi Arabia city is Jeddah, or Jiddah depending on the translation, or
Jetta. It is on the west coast of Saudi Arabia.

The VW Jetta is named after the Jet stream. (Golf, Gulfstream). Golf is
German for gulf I think.

As for Touareg, it originates from the western Sahara region. The Touaregs
are the aboriginal Berber people of that region. Which is in Africa, and not
in the middle east.

Cheers.
