| :: About Jeddah City | ||
 |
Throughout ages, Jeddah has gained its importance from its important location on the Red Sea on caravan routes and proximity to Makkah. Old Muslim Pilgrims used to cross the deserts on camels along the eastern coast of the Red Sea, or come to Jeddah on ships to continue their trip to Makkah for Hajj and Omrah, and to Medinah to visit Prophet Muhammad's Mosque and shrine. The city was and is still a gate to the Muslim holy places. |
