About Jeddah Islamic Port
Jeddah sits on the Red Sea roughly halfway along the Suez route between Asia and Europe, which gives it far better sailing frequency than its own volume would justify — many services call there anyway. It is the main gateway for western Saudi Arabia and the usual entry point for cargo destined to Mecca, Medina and the Red Sea coast. Cargo for Riyadh or the Eastern Province faces a long inland haul from here.
