Best time to visit
November to February

Jeddah has welcomed pilgrims for centuries and is the main arrival point for Umrah travellers heading to Makkah. King Abdulaziz International Airport handles most flights, and the Haramain high speed railway links Jeddah with Makkah and Madinah.

Al Balad

The old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of coral stone houses with carved wooden balconies.

The corniche and the Red Sea

The corniche runs for miles past parks and sculptures to King Fahd's Fountain, which shoots water high over the sea. The reefs offshore are popular for diving and snorkelling.

Before you go

Entry and visas

Entry rules for Saudi Arabia depend on your passport and can change, so check the official sources below before you book and again before you travel. Visitors who are not Muslim can travel to Jeddah if they meet the entry rules, but not to Makkah.

Health

It is hot for much of the year: drink plenty of water, use sun protection and keep out of the midday sun.

Money

The currency is the Saudi riyal (SAR). Carry some cash for small purchases, and ask your bank what your card costs to use abroad.

General information only, not legal or medical advice. Rules change, so check the official source before you travel.
