Jeddah

Jeddah is a major city in Saudi Arabia located on the coast of the Red Sea. It is the second largest city in the country and is the principal gateway to Mecca, Islam’s holiest city. Jeddah is the commercial and cultural center of the western region of the country and is known for its diverse population and vibrant culture.

The city was founded in the 7th century by the Quraish tribe, who named it after their ancestor, Jeddah bin Nizar. It has since grown to become a major port city and a hub for international trade. Jeddah is located in the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia, which is situated on the western coast of the country. The city is bordered by the Red Sea to the west and the Arabian Desert to the east.

Jeddah is known for its unique architecture, which includes a mix of traditional Islamic and modern Western styles. The city is also home to many historical sites, including the King Fahd Fountain, which is the world’s tallest fountain, and the Old City of Jeddah, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Throughout its history, Jeddah has been an important port for trade and commerce. It was the main port for pilgrims traveling to Mecca during the Hajj, and it was also the port of entry for many European merchants during the 16th and 17th centuries.

Today, Jeddah is a vibrant and modern city with a large expatriate population. It is a popular tourist destination and is home to many luxury hotels, shopping malls, and restaurants. The city is also home to several universities and is a major financial and business center in the region.
