Jeddah, Saudi Arabia: A unique Red Sea experience!

In Arabic, "Jeddah" means "grandmother," as if to tell the story of the city's ancient history and civilization. It is only a few dozen kilometers from Mecca, the birthplace of Islam, and across the Red Sea from Egypt. It is the second largest city in Saudi Arabia and an important port of entry and exit for pilgrims to Mecca and Medina.🚢 Because the Saudi king and other royal family members work or vacation in Jeddah every summer, it has earned the nickname "Summer Capital."🌞 Jeddah is located on the western coast, with a pleasant climate that is comfortable most of the year, although humidity drops slightly in winter. The best time to visit Jeddah is from December to April.✈️ Stroll along the beach, where sailboats sway in the wind⛵, and the mysterious and alluring mirage appears from time to time, making you intoxicated. 🗺️ Here are the main attractions in Jeddah: King Fahad Fountain: When the sun sets🌇 and the afterglow falls on the sea, the King Fahad Fountain shows its beauty at sunset. Walk along Falasteen Street Walk to the beach, the best place to see this beautiful view. The fountain is reflected in the golden sunlight, shimmering and beautiful. Al Balad: The whole old town is full of cinematic atmosphere🎬, as if time has stopped here. In the afternoon, the light is soft, and the temperature is relatively cool, making it perfect for taking pictures📷. Stroll through the streets of the old town and feel the history and culture. Alrahmah Mosque: The Alrahmah Mosque, also known as the "Floating Mosque,"🛕 is located on the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia. It is uniquely built on a pile of white concrete on the Red Sea and is the first mosque in the world to be built on water. For Muslims on their way to Mecca and Medina, Jeddah is often the starting point of their pilgrimage, and the "Floating Mosque" is a must-see on the pilgrimage route, carrying the faith and hope of countless people.🙏 Corniche Park: The entire waterfront area can be called Corniche Park. Here, you can enjoy the seaside scenery🌊. To the south, you can enjoy the beauty of the fountain, and to the north, you can see the big sign with "Jeddah" written on it, adding a unique mark to this beautiful beach.
