Jeddah is a busy port and city on Saudi Arabia's west seaboard. It is home to 3.5 million people and is a leading Middle East trade and industry hub. Jeddah is also becoming a popular destination for tourists due to its eclectic shopping and dining establishments, as well as its beaches. Car hire at First Makrona is an ideal travel choice.
The main entry point for international arrivals to Jeddah is King Abdulaziz International Airport. The airport is 20kms north of Jeddah City Centre. Makarona Road runs southwards from the airport and offers access to hotels, shopping centres and car hire at First Makrona service stations.
Makarona Road runs parallel to Jeddah's Red Sea beach and its esplanade, Corniche Road. It crosses several major city thoroughfares such as Sari Road and Tahlia Street. Tahlia Street is one of Jeddah's larger shopping precincts and has stores selling the latest designer clothes and electronic gadgets.
A good way of avoiding Jeddah's daytime heat is to enjoy air-conditioned car rental at First Makrona. The Al Bahad District is Jeddah's historic quarter and has winding alleys going to coral edifices and traditional bazaars. The bazaars, or souqs, sell a wide range of souvenirs and miscellaneous items.
Jeddah is also the gateway to Mecca and its Grand Mosque. The mosque houses the iconic Ka'aba. Mecca can be reached via Highway 5 from Jeddah. Taif is another 60kms from Mecca. Taif is on mountain slopes and receives cooler weather than Jeddah. Taif has a Turkish Fortress, fertile gardens and is close to ancient rock carvings. Cheap car hire at First Makrona is a budget travel solution.
