Essential Travel Tips
Dress modestly: While Jeddah is more relaxed than other Saudi cities, it's respectful to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites or traditional areas. Women should carry a headscarf.
Respect local customs: Be mindful of prayer times, and avoid public displays of affection. During Ramadan, eating and drinking in public during fasting hours are prohibited.
Transportation: Taxis and ride-hailing apps like Uber and Careem are readily available and convenient for getting around the city.
Stay hydrated: Jeddah can be hot, especially outside of winter months. Always carry water and stay hydrated.
Learn a few Arabic phrases: 'Shukran' (thank you) and 'Marhaba' (hello) can go a long way in showing respect and enhancing your interactions with locals.
