Discovering Jeddah: A Beautiful Blend of Tradition and Modernity

About Jeddah (New and Historic Jeddah)

The largest city in Makkah Province, the largest city in Hejaz, and the second-largest city in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Jeddah, the port city is a commercial hub and a major urban center of western Saudi Arabia. Its roots trace back to ancient times, with the historic Al-Balad district bearing testament to its rich past.

Today, the city is not just an economic powerhouse but also a cultural melting pot that brings together various cultures and traditions.

Historic Jeddah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a mesmerizing maze of narrow streets lined with coral-stone houses adorned with ornate wooden balconies. New Jeddah, on the other hand, showcases cutting-edge architecture and infrastructural sophistication, the centerpiece being the Jeddah Tower, soon to be the tallest structure in the world.
