Things to Do in Jeddah

Start your Jeddah holiday with a stroll down part of the Corniche, a 35-kilometre waterfront promenade speckled with unusual sculptures that is also home to the world's largest water fountain. It shoots straight into the sky, like an aqueous sword. Spend your afternoon in the old town of Al-Balad, the cultural and historical heart of the city. Marked as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the intricately designed Ottoman-style buildings, hustle and bustle of the souk traders and the crumbling mosques will transport you to a bygone era.

If the Arabian heat is high, cool down in one of the shiny shopping malls in the city. The Mall of Arabia mega-complex is the largest in the country, and it is home to more than 330 stores, including swanky designer boutiques and high street retailers.

Getting to and Around Jeddah

King Abdul Aziz International Airport is 17 kilometres away from downtown, and taxis and shuttle buses are available to transport you from the airport to hotels in Jeddah. There is a well-connected public bus transportation system -- although the quickest and easiest way to travel around is to hire a car. Keep in mind women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, though. If you’re interested, you can grab a great car hire deal on Wotif.
