Jeddah Sea Tales

The golden sun was casting its warm rays on our faces as we prepared to set off. "Baba, when will we arrive in Jeddah?" asked Reem, my seven-year-old daughter, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Soon, my darling. Did you prepare your camera to photograph the sea?" I replied with a smile. Jeddah was our destination, that city we had always heard tales of magic and history about. I promised the family an unforgettable trip, one that blended the aroma of the past with the modernity of the present, the tranquility of the sea with the hustle and bustle of the city. I prepared a busy itinerary, taking advantage of everything I had read about the Bride of the Red Sea, from its ancient souks to its enchanting beaches. Before we arrived, I imagined their faces lighting up with joy as they explored the treasures of this beautiful city. We had a date with Jeddah, the city that promises pleasure and wonder at every turn. I could see the sparkle of longing in their eyes to see the sea, and I, in turn, yearned for the memories of my childhood in this charming city. This time, it wouldn't just be a fleeting visit, but a trip to create memories that last a lifetime.

1. Historic Jeddah: A Journey Through Time in the Al-Balad's Alleys

We arrived in Jeddah and were greeted by the salty scent of the sea. Our first stop was Historic Jeddah, or as its people like to call it, "Al-Balad" (the Town). We wandered through its narrow, winding alleys and saw the old houses with ornate wooden *roshans* (projecting oriel windows), which tell stories of merchants, ships, and a thriving maritime life. We stopped in front of Bab Mecca, one of Jeddah's old gates, and imagined how people entered the city through it hundreds of years ago. We enjoyed watching artisans make traditional handicrafts and tasted the most delicious popular dishes in a small restaurant. A visit to Historic Jeddah is not complete without passing by Nasseef House, this ancient historical landmark that was once the residence of King Abdulaziz, may God have mercy on him. We wandered through the house's corridors and learned about its ancient history, and imagined what life was like in Jeddah during that era. We discovered that Historic Jeddah reflects the Kingdom's rich heritage.

2. Jeddah Corniche: The Pleasure of the Sea and Charming Atmosphere

After touring Historic Jeddah, we headed to the Jeddah Corniche, a favorite destination for families and visitors. The Corniche stretched before us with its palm trees and relaxing atmosphere. We rented bicycles and strolled along the Corniche, enjoying the beautiful view of the sea and the warm sunshine. We stopped at King Fahd's Fountain, the tallest fountain in the world, and watched the water rise into the sky in a majestic sight. Reem was excited to play in one of the sandy playgrounds scattered along the Corniche, while we enjoyed a snack at one of the cafes overlooking the sea. Jeddah Waterfront is a perfect place for families.

3. Jeddah Events: Entertainment and Excitement for Everyone

Our trip to Jeddah was not limited to history and the sea only, but we also enjoyed many of the entertainment events that take place in the city. We searched in advance for Jeddah Events and booked tickets for some of them. We attended an enjoyable theatrical performance for children and participated in a workshop to learn pottery making. We also enjoyed visiting one of the modern shopping malls, where we shopped and had dinner at one of the fine restaurants. Reem was particularly excited to visit Fakieh Aquarium, where we saw many rare marine creatures and learned about the importance of preserving the marine environment. We discovered that Jeddah is a city that never sleeps and offers entertainment options to suit all tastes and ages.

4. Jeddah Cuisine: A Journey to the World of Delicious Flavors

A visit to Jeddah is not complete without tasting its delicious cuisine. Our journey into the world of flavors began with a traditional breakfast at a popular restaurant, where we tasted *foul medames* (stewed fava beans) and delicious *tamees* bread. We enjoyed a seafood lunch at a restaurant overlooking the sea, where we tasted grilled fish and fried shrimp. Of course, we didn't forget to taste the authentic Saudi *kabsa* (rice and meat dish), which is one of the most famous dishes in the Kingdom. In the evening, we enjoyed dinner at one of the restaurants that serve international cuisine, where we tasted Italian and French dishes. We tried Jeddah Restaurants which offer different experiences. Jeddah is truly a paradise for food lovers, offering a variety of options to suit all tastes and budgets.
