Saudi Arabia's Red Sea gateway — the coral-stone alleys of UNESCO-listed Al-Balad old town, a 30km waterfront Corniche and the world's tallest fountain, and the fastest street circuit in Formula 1, the floodlit Jeddah Corniche track that hosts the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Historic pilgrimage port turned booming coastal metropolis.
