Known as the gateway to Mecca as Muslims, on their pilgrimage to the Holy Land, have to pass through here, this wonderful city is situated on the Red Sea coast and is one of Asia’s richest cities so what better way to enjoy all that this incredible region has to offer than renting a serviced apartment or holiday letting right here in the heart of Jeddah.

One of the most important streets in Jeddah and home to numerous corporate buildings and commercial premises is King Abdullah Street. There are also plans to build the largest business district in the Middle East here. Tahlia Street provides a real up market shopping spree or perhaps just a window shopping spree, depending on your budget. Here you will find the likes of Dolce and Gabbana, Versace and Chanel to name but a few.

The souq region of Al Balad is the other end of the spectrum entirely, with wonderful indoor and outdoor markets offering a wide variety of goods and the further into the market you walk the more traditional it becomes, spreading through narrowing streets and past traditional buildings. This rich, vibrant and colourful place provides the perfect opportunity to pick up some really cheap items and perhaps those all important souvenirs, just so long as you remember to haggle.

A serviced residence or aparthotel in Jeddah also gives you access to the beautiful corniche where you will find the King’s fountain. At around 850 feet tall this fountain is reputed to be the tallest in the world and is best viewed at night when the enormous jets are delightfully illuminated creating quite a surreal effect. You will also find some wonderful sculptures along this part of the corniche which are well worth a look as well as the white mosque which, even though it is situated on the banks, gives the appearance of floating on the water. Quite a spectacular sight.

Silver Sands Beach is the perfect place to unwind, with plenty of sun loungers and umbrellas, or enjoy a cooling dip in the sea. There is also a café here if you need a quick refuelling.

Your apartment rental or holiday let in Jeddah is also within walking distance of Byblos. This lovely restaurant is the ideal place for an evening meal and here they serve delicious Lebanese cuisine amidst contemporary décor and a really nice atmosphere.
