Jeddah, located on the banks of the Red Sea is a city in Saudi Arabia. It is the second largest city in the country besides being its major urban centre and commercial capital. The population of the city stands at over three million inhabitants. Jeddah is the chief gateway to Mecca.
The climate of Jeddah is mainly dry and hot. Summers are extremely hot and winters do not hold much promise with warm temperatures dominating even this season. Monsoon is a rare event in Jeddah with very little rain, usually in December.
Jeddah has a 2,500-year old history as a port and entryway to Mecca. Earlier established as a fishing village, it is now considered as the most cosmopolitan city of Saudi Arabia and receives millions of visitors annually.
saudi arabia has the most affordable and enjoyable places to visit and explore. its the best country to live in; i feel that humans have a better freedom to rights in saudi then any other country. a person needs to visit and explore things that this country provides to the humanity. many saudi and the resisdents provide a lot of care for their people and others. no other country shows regular gatherings and the type of advice that they give you. i give a lot of credit to the king of saudi and the people who contribute to this fantastic generosity.

If you are willing to get out and about then the Red Sea coral and thousands of variety of undersea life is well worth seeing. You can snorkel off some of the many private beaches. Unofficial access to the water could result in the boarder guards chasing you back inland.
Further inland there's a volcanic landscape to explore with huge ctarers and lava flows. Be careful where you take photos because some of these volcanos overlook settlements that wish to remain very private.

Never go out alone esp when you're a Lady. Try to keep low profile. Do not wear anything that catches everybody's attention. Jeddah is a nice country but I can definitely say that its a country of men. It is not safe for woman so if you're OFW try to find job not in Middle east.

Very hot place and people rarely walk in the street.
It feels safe to live in the city though you must take care of accidentally violate the local customs and laws or you may face very strict penalties.
