Jeddah is the largest city in Mecca Province, the second-largest city in Saudi Arabia after Riyadh, and the country’s main commercial center. It is in the Hejaz region on the Red Sea coast. The city’s metropolitan area is coterminous with Jeddah Governorate. Its prominence grew in 647 CE when the Caliph Uthman of the Rashidun Caliphate designated it as the main port serving travelers to Mecca.

As you wander through the streets of Jeddah, you'll be surrounded by a blend of old and new architecture. The city's rich history is reflected in its traditional buildings, such as the iconic Al-Balad area, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, you can admire the intricate details of the coral stone houses, which were built over a century ago, and explore the bustling souks that offer everything from spices to textiles.

For those looking for a more modern experience, Jeddah has plenty to offer. Take a stroll along the Corniche, a beautiful seaside promenade that stretches for miles, and enjoy stunning views of the Red Sea. You can also visit the tallest fountain in the world, the King Fahd Fountain, which shoots water up to 1,024 feet in the air.
