City of Jeddah
Jeddah is the gateway to the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah, Although Riyadh is the capital of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Jeddah is known as its commercial capital. Since Jeddah is situatedain the Red Sea Coast, it is also known as the Bride of Red Sea.
“Jeddah” as pronounced by its people, means prosperity and happiness. It is also pronounced as “Jadda” meaning grandmother referring to mother Eve.
This is in accordance to the legend that she landed here and is buried in the graveyard just outside the historical areas of the old city. Another pronunciation is “Joddah” and this means a narrow passage between two mountains or a long road.
Jeddah is a city of mystery, rich with tradition, history, culture and a unique heritage. It is mentioned by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his Caliphs and its importance goes back even before the Islamic period.
Jeddah has been mentioned by many travelers in their journals, some describing it as the “city surrounded by walls with beautiful markets and teeming with buildings” whilst other described it as a “small city on the Red Sea coast crowded with pilgrims”. Apparently there were inns, caravan sarays, hostel catering to travelers and pilgrims. Present city has expanded and transformed into a metropolis but still holds true to its original charm and uniqueness thereby making it superb for its residents and a must for those who wish to visit her. |
