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 of Jeddah and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Explore its narrow alleyways, marvel at the distinctive multi-story coral stone houses with their elaborate wooden Roshan (balconies), and discover ancient mosques and traditional souqs (markets) like the Souq Al Alawi.
Tip: Best visited in the late afternoon or early evening when the temperatures are cooler and the market comes alive. Wear comfortable shoes for walking on uneven surfaces.
Enjoy a leisurely walk or cycle along the revamped Jeddah Corniche, a beautifully landscaped waterfront promenade stretching for kilometers along the Red Sea. It offers stunning sea views, public art installations, playgrounds, and picnic areas. It's a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, especially in the evenings.
Tip: Don't miss the iconic King Fahd's Fountain, the tallest fountain in the world, which is illuminated after dark and sprays water incredibly high.
Witness the architectural beauty of Al Rahmah Mosque, popularly known as the "Floating Mosque" because it's built on stilts over the Red Sea. Its elegant white structure appears to float on the water, especially during high tide, making it a picturesque spot for photos and contemplation.
Tip: Dress modestly if planning to enter the mosque. The best photo opportunities are from the corniche at sunset.
Explore the Abdul Raouf Khalil Museum, a private museum complex that showcases a fascinating collection of artifacts illustrating Jeddah's and Saudi Arabia's history, culture, and heritage. It features various sections, including an Ottoman house, a Saudi heritage section, and an exhibition of traditional Islamic architecture.
Tip: Check opening hours in advance, as they can vary. It offers a good overview of local history and traditions.
Experience Jeddah's contemporary side by visiting one of its sprawling, air-conditioned modern shopping malls like Red Sea Mall or Mall of Arabia. These malls offer a wide range of international brands, local boutiques, food courts, and entertainment options, providing 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 Jeddah's diverse culinary scene, with a strong emphasis on fresh Red Sea seafood. The city offers a range of dining experiences, from traditional Saudi dishes at local eateries to international cuisine and upscale restaurants, particularly along the corniche.
Tip: Try local specialties like Mandi (rice and meat dish) or fresh grilled fish. Many restaurants have family sections or private dining areas.
