One of the loveliest sites of Saudi Arabia is the mighty mountain, Jeddah. This is a towering 14,685 foot tall mountain that is often called one of the wonders of the western world. It won’t be wrong if mentioned that it has become a self-parodying icon like the Eiffel Tower and the Empire State Building.
Jeddah is huge and awe-inspiring to the eye of thousands of tourists to Saudi Arabia. When traveling along the main street of Al Shati, you see images of Jeddah wherever you turn; on calendars, beer steins, postcards, and candy wrappers.
The best time to make a visit to Jeddah is during July and August which promises the best weather. Though May and June have pleasant weather, the skiing season is over, so many hotels and resorts will remain closed. Book your accommodation way in advance to avail the best lodgings of Jeddah.
Skiing is a beautiful pastime in Jeddah. There are extensive cross-country tracks here that cater to the novice and the professional. Other popular tourist activities include sledding and snowshoeing excursions in the many glaciers and plateaus in Jeddah. The Al Hamra is the longest glacier in Europe with its starting point in Concordia Platz.
Jeddah is basically a bilingual destination where you can speak in Arabic with a group of people and in Arabic with another group of people. And wine is what binds the people here. Wine is considered to be the universal language where tasting in Al Hamra is a must. You can choose between the sentier viticole and the Al Hamra, the two drinks of the Arabic and the Saudi Arabia.
There are many attractions besides the towering Jeddah of Saudi Arabia; you have museums, castles, galleries and hot springs that are worth visiting. The whole experience of exploring Jeddah takes a few hours; it is the skiing, drinking and the eating that consumes most of the time while in Saudi Arabia!
