Restaurants in Jeddah
1. Balad
Overall Ratings
4 based on 797 reviews
Reminiscent of the Arabian nights fairytales, this vibrant marketplace with multi-storied mud brick and stone buildings sells everything from textiles and sparkling silver and gold ornaments to spices and honey.
Reviewed By Francis S - London, United Kingdom
Al Balad is beautiful. I’ve been visiting for a few years and it has changed beyond recognition since Unesco status. It is a unique place of wonky houses, coral bricks and real life going on in it’s streets. Visit early morning to see one side of life and in the evening to see another. In Ramadan it is a joyful place of lights and food stalls and Jeddawis on the streets. Highly recommended

6. Jeddah Corniche
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By SandyWest - Bangalore, India
This place is an exquisitely designed and painstakingly built sea-side walkway along the Red Sea in Jeddah. A happening place in the mornings and evenings, especially in the weekends!!!! Al Hamra Corniche has been recently redone totally and the looks and feel are like that of a Mediterranean boulevard in Europe!!!!!!!!!
The beautiful walkway snakes through several niches of relaxing pockets for families and singles with an unhindered sea view. Public convenience spots and even mobile recharge posts enable all to spend some quality time here. Restaurants and other kiosks nearby fill you in on a gourmet meal or snacks as per your needs. A favorite place for families to relax and kids to unwind with their bicycles, skates and the football, of course!!!!!
7. Fakieh Aquarium

Reviewed By Melissa W - Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
The Fakieh aquarium is a fun time for the whole family. The aquarium is like a huge tunnel surrounding you and you can see all the fish so well. During the weekdays especially the morning there are no crowds and it is almost like you have the whole aquarium to yourself. Also the dolphin show is very entertaining but it is with an additional fee. I would definitely recommend the Fakieh aquarium and will visit again.

10. Gabel Street Souq
Overall Ratings

The bustling Balad marketplace includes this specialized market that sells electronics, perfumes, spices, dates, honey and household items.
Reviewed By ayaa1977 - Jeddah
Nowadays we have lots of malls in Jeddah, but back in the days we had Gabel Streets for all thing shopping. It is still standing, and still populated and for me a visit to Gavel Street every now and then is a must as it takes me in a trip down Memory Lane when my late Father used to take me and my brothers to buy us cloth and shoes. I hope I am gonna do the same one day with my child.
