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.

The old town, Al Balad, is a UNESCO World Heritage site of coral stone houses with carved wooden balconies. Along the sea, the corniche runs for miles past parks, sculptures and King Fahd's Fountain, which shoots water high over the Red Sea.

The Red Sea reefs off Jeddah are popular for diving and snorkelling. November to February brings the most comfortable temperatures.
