About Jeddah
Jeddah, on the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia, is an old trading port and the gateway to Mecca, with a historic district of coral-stone houses.
Jeddah has been a port on the Red Sea since ancient times, and a landing point for pilgrims travelling to Mecca, which lies to the east. Al-Balad, its old quarter and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserves tall coral-stone houses with carved wooden balconies, called roshan, and narrow lanes, and the souks around them still trade in spices, textiles and perfume.
