Many Indians travel from Port Blair to Jeddah for religious pilgrimage, primarily to perform Umrah or Hajj. Jeddah serves as the gateway to Mecca and Medina, the holiest cities in Islam, and offers a unique blend of traditional culture and modern development.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Jeddah is during the cooler months, from November to February, when the weather is more pleasant for outdoor activities and religious observances. Avoid traveling during the peak Hajj season if you are not performing Hajj, as the city becomes extremely crowded.

Getting from the airport to Jeddah

King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) offers several options to reach central Jeddah. Taxis are readily available outside the terminals and cost approximately 50-70 SAR. The airport is also connected by public buses, which are a more economical option.

Things to do in Jeddah

Visit Al-Balad, Jeddah's historic district, a UNESCO World Heritage site with traditional architecture. Explore the Corniche, a waterfront promenade with parks, restaurants, and art installations. See the King Fahd's Fountain, one of the tallest fountains in the world. Visit the Floating Mosque, a unique architectural marvel built on the Red Sea.

Food to try

Try Kabsa, a mixed rice dish with meat and vegetables, a staple in Saudi cuisine. Sample Mutabbaq, a stuffed pancake filled with meat, eggs, or vegetables. Enjoy fresh seafood along the Corniche, with many restaurants offering grilled fish and shrimp.
