Tours to Jeddah
The largest state in terms of area on the Arabian Peninsula is also the location of the two main sacred cities for every Muslim. It is here that Mecca and Medina are located - the cities where the Prophet Muhammad was born and died. Saudi Arabia, or "The Land of Two Mosques", is a place where every faithful seeks to get into earthly life. For this, Muslims perform the Hajj to Mecca and Medina, which in the land of Saudi Arabia usually begins in Jeddah..
The second largest metropolis of the country and its economic capital serves as a starting point for those who seek to touch the shrines of Islam. Tours to Jeddah can be performed by a representative of any faith, but further Hajj is allowed only to Muslims.
Port of eternal summer
The city of Jeddah is located on the east coast of the Red Sea. It is one of the largest ports in the region, and therefore the main flow of pilgrims arrives by sea vessels. The population of the economic capital of Saudi Arabia is approaching four million, and Jeddah is the second largest city in the kingdom after the capital..
The climate of Saudi Arabia is desert, hot, with almost no precipitation. But for the participants of tours to Jeddah, nature provides some relaxation - the influence of the sea softens the severe heat a little, and in January-March there are days here when the thermometers do not even reach +30. In summer, the picture is the opposite, and the heat goes off scale beyond all possible limits. The "warmest" month is June, when +50 in the shade is a common occurrence.
Grave of the progenitor
The main attraction that participants of tours in Jeddah can visit is the tomb of Eve. Legend has it that the progenitor fell to Earth in this Arabian city and the first mention of the burial is contained in the manuscripts of the 10th century.
Once upon a time, a room was built over the grave of Eve, which was considered a mosque, and the tomb itself served as a place of worship for pilgrims. Today, the place of Eve's alleged burial is concreted by the authorities, as it served as the reason for the violation of Islamic traditions by those who prayed here after the Hajj season..
