Jeddah is located on the Red Sea, in western Saudi Arabia. With 3.4 million inhabitants, the city is one of the largest cities in the country. Jeddah is a very beautiful city, but also very hot. In winter, the average temperature is around 29°C, but in summer the mercury easily rises to 40°C.
It is clear from the historical sights that Jeddah has a long history. A day of sightseeing is therefore definitely worthwhile. A popular tourist attraction is the Old City, whose history dates back to 647 A.D. One of the most beautiful old houses is the Nasif House, which is one of the most important houses of the 19th century.
Jeddah has many old buildings, but also some interesting museums. The Abdul Raouf Khalil Museum reveals the city's history through a valuable historical collection. Another important museum is the Municipal Museum, where pictures of the city's development are exhibited. There is also a collection of local art.
Apart from sightseeing, there are a number of recreational and theme parks in Jeddah. One of the top places for shopping is Balad, a district in the old part of the city. To cool down, you can visit the beaches of Jeddah.
