The Jeddah Corniche is a picturesque waterfront area stretching along the Red Sea. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely walk or cycle along the 30km path while taking in the stunning views of the sea and city skyline. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants to stop and relax in along the way.
A trip to Jeddah would not be complete without visiting King Fahd’s Fountain, a beautiful sight at night lit up with woefully colors. Close by is the magnificent Floating Mosque, which offers a unique experience by the sea.
Al-Balad Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a must-see attraction when visiting Jeddah. The maze of streets is filled with historic buildings, souks, and traditional architecture. Visitors can find souvenirs and sample traditional food while exploring the area.
Tahlia Street is a bustling shopping and entertainment district with a mixture of high-end stores and local boutiques. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants to take a break and enjoy some people-watching.
For shopping and entertainment, Red Sea Mall is a popular destination in Jeddah. It boasts a wide range of local and international brands as well as a cinema, food court, and play area for children.
If you have more time, consider taking a day trip to the nearby Red Sea beaches or the nearby city of Mecca. If you have less time, consider skipping Tahlia Street or Red Sea Mall and spending more time exploring Al-Balad Old Town or Jeddah Corniche. Don't forget to dress modestly in public places and to check opening and closing times for attractions before visiting.
