Jeddah Travel Guide
Saudi Arabia
Jeddah is a large city on Saudi Arabia’s western Red Sea coast, with a population of about 4.7 million. It is one of the country’s principal urban centres and a major arrival point for visitors to western Saudi Arabia.
Most travellers arrive through King Abdulaziz International Airport, which serves the city. Jeddah is coastal, but there are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of the city, so beach plans may require looking beyond the immediate area.
