👌 👏 wow
Desert , shopping, aquarium…that’s pretty much it!!!
Jeddah is not in the desert you dummy 😂 do you think the whole of Saudi Arabia is in the desert?😂
Shopping mall konsa Acha plz btyn ???jhn enjoy bh hojay
@jqulan, it is your choice, many time you remind your massage, for you jeddah is boring and humidity like hell, because you are non Muslim, but as a Muslim for me not even jeddah whole over saudia for me like heaven, Alhamdolillah
dance at 5:19 is NOT Saudi!
I just went to Jeddah few days ago and stayed there for 3 days. Here are my personal feelings about Jeddah. It's BORING, hot and humid as hell! If you plan on staying and do touristy things only in the city, you will be quite disappointed like me. Yes you can check out the places mentioned in this video, but mostly you can finish seeing every single place less than an hour or two, some of them maybe few minutes like the giant fountain and flag pole. The city is not ready for tourists at all! There was no easy way to get into the city from the airport, and random people will ask you if you want “taxi” and charge you a high price. There were only 2 currency exchange places in the new and big airport!!! Only 2 and one of them was out of service! The other one ONLY accepted very new looking US dollars! There is NO decent size museum in this city either. If you are muslim you can definitely go to Makkah and Medina, however as a non-muslim, I can’t go to Makkah for sure but the round trip train ticket to Medina was like 100 USD or something. I really regretted to visit to this city.
I am just thinking about whether to go or not. Overall there doesn't seem much for non Muslims to see or do?
@@normanlee31 That's how I felt when I finishes my trip to Jeddah.
tbh AlUla is great spot to travel to, but jeddah is not ready yet. A better experience will be if you rent a car and go on a road trip.
I couldn’t agree more more. I’m Muslim and lived there for 13 years and yes it’s BORING and the only things made it cool is my family were w me and we did picnic and horseback riding but just in the evening ( not even evening mostly night when it cool off ( humidity makes it impossible to enjoy either day or night . Our leisure was to take a flights to go either to turkeye or another destinations
@@gigilarousse2735but what about enjoying the unlimited list of west and east restaurants ?
The aquarium "Does not meet animal welfare guidelines" according to Tripadvisor. Looks worse than Sea World.
Bab makkah 😂
haha oops
We found Jeddah absolutely useless and a waste of time n money for a family holiday. By n large Ppl are so unwelcoming and theres literally nothing much to see as well. We regret wasting our time n money. Save yours !
I actually live in Jeddah and born in jeddah it’s boring it’s hot it’s not for a family holiday😢
Beautiful gorgeous city. Safest country in. The world.
Safety YES agreed but still boring 🥱

I was planning to go to Jeddah since my brother is going there for a work trip. I also really wanna visit Mecca medina but since I’m a non Muslim I can’t either. Should I consider going to Riyadh ?
@@vdm1656 I didn’t go to Riyadh this time so you probably have to do some research, but you can see for sure that I didn’t enjoy Jeddah. Hope Jeddah will be better in the future.
@@jqluan yes it does look like a boring place and I’m gonna reconsider. I would still love to go if I get to travel to Mecca or Medina but I think there is no surety, someone I know who’s a non Muslim went to mecca/medina but I don’t know how 🤷♀️
@@vdm1656 I‘ve asked local people and I was told Medina is fine but just don’t try to go into the Prophet's Mosque. Trying to visit Makkah as non-muslim is definitely a no no.
@@vdm1656 my family is muslim, im legally muslim by certificate but not really one by heart. so im getting to go to Mecca. i believe it is improper but not much i can do due to compromised safety if i profess im not muslim to my parents. maybe the person you mention also was in the same boat as I am.
