Jeddah
With around 2.8 million inhabitants, the city of Jeddah on the Red Sea is the country’s most important export point for oil and oil-based products. The city is approximately 300 years old and the main starting-point for pilgrimages to Mecca. Since 1947 Jeddah has undergone massive development. The dimensions of Jeddah today can best be appreciated from the ‘Corniche’, or main thoroughfare, which is lined by hotels and palaces and winds its way along the Red Sea coast for more than 60 kilometres.
