Things to do in Jeddah

Located approximately 65km away from the holy city of Makkah, Jeddah became an important pit-stop for Muslims on their way to fulfilling Hajj and merchants with goods coming from all corners of the silk road. Today, the city serves as the commercial capital of Saudi Arabia. Jeddah is a buzzing coastal metropolis located on the warm shore waters of the Red Sea, bustling and restless, with luxurious skyscrapers and a beautiful modern waterfront, without excluding its old traditional charm. With a more open-minded and flexible personality, compared to other Saudian cities, Jeddah offers an array of activities and experiences. From dazzling landmarks and complexes such as the King Fahd's Fountain, the Kingdom Tower, the Al-Balad (Old Town), and the Al Rahma Mosque to Jeddah's waterfront where local residents like to relax, soak up the sun and enjoy the gentle sea breeze. The city is also home to bustling souqs and dive sites unique to the area of the Red Sea.
