Why Jeddah?

The Gateway to Saudi Business

Jeddah, known as the business gateway of Saudi Arabia, seamlessly blends rich heritage with modern opportunity. As a hub of commerce, real estate, tourism, logistics, and more, the city's strategic location along the Red Sea offers direct access to one of the region's busiest ports and is just a short distance from the holy city of Medina.

This prime location not only makes Jeddah an ideal base for global trade but also a hotspot for investment that is further boosted by its three industrial cities: Jeddah Industrial City 1, Jeddah Industrial City 2, and Jeddah Industrial City 3, which provide ample space for manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution.

In addition to its industrial cities, Jeddah also boasts several free zones, including the Jeddah Economic City Free Zone and the King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) Free Zone. These areas offer tax incentives and streamlined regulations offering a fertile soil to encourage foreign investment.
