Located in Queens and about 12 miles southeast of Manhattan, you can reach John F. Kennedy International (JFK) using the Belt Parkway or Van Wyck Expressway. When you're flying from JFK to Jeddah King Abdulaziz International (JED), flight times are usually around 12 1/2 hours nonstop.
At JED, there are taxis and limousines outside the Arrivals area, and there are car rental kiosks in the International Arrivals hall. The city is accessible via Al Madinah Al Munawarah Road.
Jeddah has a wealth of things for travelers to do, from shopping at the Red Sea Mall, Balad Marketplace or the Fish Market to taking in impressive sights like the King's Fountain and the Floating Mosque.
If you're looking for marine experiences, try Jeddah Cornish, Silver Sands Beach or visit the Fakieh Aquarium.
Located just over 50 miles away from Jeddah is Mecca, the historic birthplace of the prophet Muhammad. Mecca is home to many important religious sites, such as Black Stone and the Mountain of Light.
The geographic location of Jeddah makes for warm weather, with temperatures climbing over 90 degrees in the summer months. Aim for winter months if you're looking to avoid high sun and heat. Popular spots for accommodations include the area surrounding King's Fountain and its city center.
