Jeddah




     Jeddah is a city that's located in the Middle East specifically in Saudi Arabia. It is the largest city in Makkah Province, the largest sea port on the Red Sea, and the second largest city in Saudi Arabia after the capital city, Riyadh. 

Jeddah city is called "The Bride of the Red Sea", some people said that's because it locates on the middle of the Red Sea coast, & others said it's because Jeddah is the most beautiful city on it. 
The city is famous for many things, like that it has the world's tallest fountain "King Fahad's fountain", and Jeddah Islamic Port "the largest port on the Red Sea coast", King's Road Tower "glass tower that contains the largest ads' screen in the world", The Corniche and others . 

Jeddah is a great city. But as a big city it has problems. Like the hot weather. But the biggest problem here is the traffic, especially in vacations. It has lots of visitors so the streets are always crowded. 
The buildings here are not the same. There are lots of styles , big buildings, small buildings, new buildings, and old ones. 
Most of the buildings in the south are too old, the government wants to remove it but the people in Jeddah won't allowed that to happen because it means a lot to them, Their ancestors lived there.  it's what stills there from the old city. 
and not forgetting to mention that the people in there are really kind and helpful.
