Since ancient times, Jeddah was the sole port city in Saudi Arabia that welcomed international traders as well as Makkah-bound pilgrims with open arms. This warmth and openness are the reasons behind the emergence of Jeddah as a cosmopolitan hub. Indeed “Jeddah ghair” or “Jeddah different” – from age-old mosques chanting hymns to star studded Red Sea International Film Festival occurring annually. According to local lore, Eve breathed her last here. Encompassing the Red Sea and its pristine reefs, this metropolis is a glorious blend of history and contemporary.

Here are the best known places in Jeddah:

• Al-Balad: This historical site constructed during the 7^th century resonates with the rich cultural heritage of Jeddah. Al-Balad translates to “the town”. The narrow maze-like lanes, old buildings and lurking mosques. Plenty of souls selling coral trinkets, leather goods and perfume attract shoppers.
• Jeddah Corniche: An ideal place for a leisurely evening stroll and bicycle rentals, Corniche echoes with the vibrant lifestyle of Jeddah.
• Fakieh Aquarium: It is the solitary public aquarium in the whole of Saudi Arabia and provides tourists a glimpse of aquatic life below the Red Sea.

• Floating Mosque: As the name suggests, this architectural marvel appears to float above the sea during high tide.
• King Fahd’s Fountain: This spectacular fountain rises taller than the Eiffel Tower by draining water from the Red Sea. It appears breath-taking during night time.
