Planning a trip to Saudi Arabia or just want to get an impression of the country? Then you should not miss Jeddah. The metropolis on the Red Sea is lively and has much to be discovered. Jeddah offers an exciting mix of ancient history and modern attractions.
Whether you prefer culture or whether you want to focus on attractions & activities, Jeddah is a city for everyone.
From exploring the bustling souks to enjoying the local cuisine to admiring the stunning architecture, there is much to experience in this city. I have made myself a picture and show you the most beautiful Jeddah sights and highlights. The city is a mix of historic and contemporary, open-air art sculptures, cafes, shopping districts, and the largest waterfront stretch filled with restaurants and resorts.
accommodation
Be welcome and feel at home in Jeddah. Especially the newly built hotels offer in all categories services often above average. Room service around the clock is no exception.
Food & Drink
Since the opening of the country to general tourism in 2019, the restaurant and cafe scene is also developing rapidly in Jeddah. From simple eateries to luxurious fine dining establishments that prepare culinary delights from around the world, you’ll find just about anything. Rather, it is true that you are “spoiled for choice“.
