Overview
Jeddah is a dynamic and historic port city located on the coast of the Red Sea in the Makkah Province of Saudi Arabia. As the principal gateway for pilgrims traveling to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, Jeddah has for centuries been a pivotal crossroads of cultures, trade, and faith. This rich heritage is evident in its enchanting Old Town, Al-Balad, a UNESCO World Heritage site with its distinctive coral-built houses and ancient souqs.
Today, Jeddah is also a rapidly developing modern metropolis, characterized by gleaming skyscrapers, upscale shopping malls, and an extensive corniche along the Red Sea. It stands as Saudi Arabia's second-largest city and its commercial capital, offering visitors a unique blend of historical charm, contemporary vibrancy, and a welcoming atmosphere as it increasingly opens its doors to international tourism.
Step back in time by wandering through Al-Balad, the historic heart and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Marvel at the distinctive multi-story coral stone houses with their elaborate wooden Roshan.
Tip: Best visited in the late afternoon or early evening when the temperatures are cooler and the market comes alive.
Enjoy a leisurely walk or cycle along the revamped the Corniche, a landscaped waterfront promenade stretching for kilometers along the Red Sea. It offers sea views, public art installations and playgrounds, in the evenings.
Tip: Don't miss the iconic King Fahd's Fountain, the tallest fountain in the world, which is illuminated after dark.
Witness the architectural beauty of Al Rahmah Mosque, popularly known as the "Floating Mosque" because it's built on stilts over the Red Sea. During high tide, making it a spot for photos and contemplation.
Tip: Dress modestly if planning to enter the mosque.
Explore the Abdul Raouf Khalil Museum, a museum complex that showcases a collection of artifacts illustrating the and Saudi Arabia's history and culture. It includes an Ottoman house and an exhibition of traditional Islamic architecture.
Tip: It offers a good overview of local history and traditions.
Experience the contemporary side by visiting one of its sprawling, air-conditioned modern shopping malls like Red Sea Mall or Mall of Arabia. Food courts, and entertainment options provide a stark contrast to the traditional souqs.
Tip: Malls are a popular escape from the midday heat and offer a glimpse into modern Saudi lifestyle.
Savor the diverse culinary scene, with a strong emphasis on fresh Red Sea seafood. Enjoy traditional Saudi dishes at local eateries and international cuisine and upscale restaurants along the corniche.
Tip: Try local specialties like Mandi (rice and meat dish) or fresh grilled fish.
