Jeddah: The City That Illuminates Its Nights During Ramadan

Life pulsates through the historical city of Jeddah at night during Ramadan, characterized by bustling markets and vibrant decorations. The historic city becomes a hub of activity, with hundreds gathering for live music performances and traditional dances. Visitors can also explore the area's museums and historical sites. Saudi citizen Mohammed Al-Jahni narrates, “Historic Jeddah is an attractive place for people, especially during Ramadan, where one can experience local foods and specific traditions and customs.” Saudi national Salem Al-Haddad highlights life in Jeddah, where visitors get to know a unique lifestyle that our ancestors lived. The Saudi society is witnessing rapid social changes during the reign of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, including lifting the ban on women driving, allowing gender mixing, and public entertainment. The Saudi government launched the General Entertainment Authority in 2016 as part of Vision 2030 to support concerts and provide entertainment options for Saudis who were accustomed to traveling abroad to witness such performances.
