Jeddah, Saudi Arabia's Red Sea gateway, preserves coral-stone houses and carved latticed windows in its World Heritage old town.

📍 Destination Overview

Jeddah is Saudi Arabia's second-largest city on the Red Sea coast, historically the maritime gateway and trading hub to Mecca. The UNESCO-listed old town of Al-Balad preserves coral-stone houses with carved wooden bay windows (Roshan). The modern Corniche promenade offers sea views and the King Fahd Fountain, making this a historic yet open, diverse Red Sea city.
