Jeddah Holidays

Jeddah’s unofficial motto is Jeddah ghair or ‘Jeddah is different’ and having been open to outside influences over the centuries as a trading hub, it is renowned as the most liberal of all Saudi Arabian cities.

Jeddah is a port city of two halves. The historic quarter and its cultural beating heart, Al Balad, dates back to the 7th Century and is a maze of winding narrow streets and traditional architecture. On the other side you have the Corniche, Jeddah’s modern cosmopolitan seafront, adorned with fabulous sculptures and the impressive King Fahd's Fountain, which at 300m is the highest in the world. Being located on the Red Sea, the city is famed for its legendary seafood as well as an important maritime trade route.
