When you walk down the street of
old Jeddah, strangers say, "welcome"
– the locals have a very hospitable
nature.
Until recently, the port city of
Jeddah was the largest city in Saudi
Arabia – as a result,
there is a strong international influence
here. Although the old city has been
preserved, it is now surrounded by
the newer...
Jeddah (pop. 2,817,700): Old mud houses and
modern skyscrapers; Arabic treats and international
cuisine; and traditional flowing robes and modern
designer wear. All this plus some of the best
scuba diving in the world!
