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 area 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
Muhammed (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 others
described it as "the small city on the Red Sea coast crowded
with pilgrims". Apparently there were inns, caravan sarays, and
hostels 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.
As one can see, Jeddah has a history of catering to the comfort
and entertainment of its people, travelers, and pilgrims alike.
Even today Jeddah’s cosmopolitan approach is found in almost
every aspect of life. Take one small example of its wide variety
of restaurants and cafés. One can find almost all kinds of
delicacies & traditional dishes, ranging from local ‘mutabbaq’ &
‘shawarmas’ to the finest international cuisines. ..Next
