Saudi Arabia

Jeddah is the largest city on the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia and serves as the principal gateway for pilgrims arriving by sea and air to perform Hajj and Umrah in nearby Mecca. As a major commercial hub and the historic gateway to the holy cities, Jeddah contains numerous mosques, including historic structures in its old town (Al-Balad), a UNESCO World Heritage site, as well as large modern congregational mosques across its expanding districts. The city's role as a pilgrim gateway has shaped much of its hospitality and halal food infrastructure, serving both residents and the millions who pass through on their way to the holy cities.
