About Jeddah
Jeddah is Saudi Arabia’s largest port city on the Red Sea and a key entry point for international visitors arriving for business, leisure, and pilgrimage. Its mix of historic Al-Balad, modern waterfront districts, and large shopping malls makes it an easy city to combine with trips to other destinations in the Kingdom. The city is often used as a practical base before or after visiting Mecca and Medina by train, thanks to Jeddah’s international airport and convenient rail links. Travelers can enjoy the Corniche, seafront parks, and local seafood restaurants while planning their onward journey.
Jeddah also offers a growing number of museums, galleries, and family attractions that fit well into a short stay. Whether you are in transit for a night or staying longer, the city provides enough sights, dining options, and seaside walks to fill your schedule between train trips.
