Jeddah is a city located on the coast of the Red Sea and is the major urban center of western Saudi Arabia. It is the principal gateway to Mecca and Medina Islam’s holiest cities. It is also a major commercial center in Saudi Arabia.
Jeddah is a huge city that sprawls along the coast of the Red Sea, connected together by the Corniche, a seaside avenue full of bizarre sculptures and nearly 30 km long. The old city or al-Balad, on the southern side of modern Jeddah, is a crumbling but fascinating warren of multi-story houses made from coral. The main thoroughfare Medina Road starts from the northern side of al-Balad and runs all the way to the city.
