About Jeddah
Jeddah is Saudi Arabia's main Red Sea port and a leading commercial city. It is the traditional gateway for pilgrims travelling to Mecca for Hajj and Umrah, and its historic district of Al-Balad, with its coral-stone houses, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Shipping, trade and tourism make its local time important to many people abroad.
Saudi Arabia uses Arabia Standard Time, UTC+3, throughout the country and does not observe daylight saving. The working week runs Sunday to Thursday, with Friday and Saturday as the weekend, so contacting businesses on a Friday is unlikely to succeed. Jeddah shares its time with Riyadh, Kuwait, Doha and Bahrain.
