When you walk down the street of old
Jeddah, strangers say, "welcome" –
the locals have a very hospitable nature.
Until recently, the port city of Jeddah
was the largest city in Saudi
Arabia – as a result, there
is a strong international influence
here. Although the old city has been
preserved, it is now surrounded by
the newer...
Jeddah (pop. 2,817,700): Old mud houses and modern
skyscrapers; Arabic treats and international cuisine;
and traditional flowing robes and modern designer
wear. All this plus some of the best scuba diving
in the world!
