Jeddah
The Bride of the Red Sea
The Bride of the Red Sea
Jeddah is Saudi Arabia’s second largest city and the capital of Makkah Province. This major port city draws visitors through its history, its cultural richness and its coastline.
The city began in the 7th century as a modest fishing settlement, and by the 10th century it was a vital trading hub and the gateway for pilgrims. The Ottomans built mosques and public buildings here, many still standing. Jeddah merges its ancient roots with contemporary marvels, keeping traditional customs alongside new developments.
