Things to do in Jeddah
The bride of the Red Sea
Jeddah is a city of sea breezes and old lanes. Start in the coral-stone alleys of historic Al-Balad, among carved wooden rawasheen, and end the day on the Corniche as the sun sets. The city comes alive after sunset, so its best outings tend to be evening ones.
