Shopping in Jeddah, the In's and Out's
Wednesday, 24 August 2011
Your vacation in our hotel in Jeddah will be mainly to visit our beautiful beaches along the Red Sea Coast. And perhaps you would like to make a cultural trip to one of the many historic sites around Jeddah. But don't forget about all our luxurious shopping malls and well exclusive shopping streets. Jeddah offers a lot of choice to go on a nice shopping spree!
Go to the old centre of Jeddah if you are looking for something a little bit more traditional. Old and new products are mixed in the many crowded bazaars right in between the modern air conditioned shopping malls. Find your hidden treasure or perfect souvenir after screening the souks and hassling until the price is right.
Tahlia street is the most exclusive shopping street if you are looking for the latest fashion. We’re not talking off the rack. All famous designers like Prada, Gucci, Versace, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana and Giorgio Armani can be found here. This fashion heart of Saudi Arabia we like to call the Champs-Élysées of Jeddah.
The middle east is known for its mega malls. They are completely air conditioned, which is quite convenient with outside temperatures of 45°c.
The Mall of Arabia has recently opened and is one of the most modern shopping centers in Jeddah. It features many European brands such as ZARA and Massimo Dutti. Opening times are wide, from 9AM to 10PM and even midnight on Fridays. This is also a great place for the kids. There is a surprise waiting for Jeddah this winter. Currently an entire snow village is being designed and developed. It will be located inside the Mall of Arabia. Did you ever think you would see snow in Saudi Arabia
The Red Sea Mall is at least as spectacular. Go shopping at Topshop while nipping from a Starbucks Latte. Don’t worry about your kids, they will have a blast at the Dolphino Club. Bring your big car, because the Hypermarket located inside the mall will provide you with all groceries you’ll need for the entire week. The Red Sea Mall is opened until at least midnight every night. Wednesdays and Thursdays are extra fun because they’re open until 2AM.
When shopping in Saudia Arabia you should familiarize yourself with the local prayer times. 5 times a day all business activities and markets will be closed during prayer.
Better leave some open space in your suitcase when coming to Jeddah for your Summer Holidays. With the most exclusive brands, modern mega malls and traditional Arabian markets there is only one question left: What will I buy next?
