To immerse in Jeddah’s Islamic history and tradition, stay in Al Balad (Old Jeddah), the city’s quaint historic district and UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area, located in central Jeddah, is ideal for exploring the city’s local historic landmarks as well as many of its best malls, mosques, and museums.
While Al Balad is Jeddah’s cultural centre, Ash Shati is considered the city’s entertainment centre. Running along the city’s main coastal area, not only is Al Balad home to top beaches and restaurants, it’s home to an aquarium theme park, and more family-oriented spots.
Al Hamra’a is an upscale waterfront district that sits between Ash Shati and Al Balad that appeals to the more discerning tourist. As well as its convenient and idyllic location, the district is known for its gorgeous seafront, delectable restaurants, and lavish hotels.
