It may not be the biggest city in the country, but those who have\u00a0lived in\u00a0Jeddah can testify to the fact that it definitely is one of the best places to live in. And, in case you disagree with that, here are 11 features about the city that will probably make you rethink your decision.<\/p>\n

1. Like Dubai, Jeddah is home to many superlatives.<\/h3>\n

From the world’s tallest lighthouse and fountain to the largest screen and tallest flagpole – all are here in Jeddah.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

3. Speaking of which, the large number of different\u00a0nationalities give Jeddah its amazing food.<\/h3>\n

8. And, in case we forgot to mention, Jeddah is home to a booming art scene.<\/h3>\n

Some even call it one of the best in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

9. Given all this, the cost of living is pretty low as well.<\/h3>\n

Many basic necessities like water and electricity are subsidized by the government.<\/p>\n

10. There is always something happening in the city.<\/h3>\n

Since the GEA was formed the number of events and activities just increased multifold.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

11. Lastly, there are many mega ongoing infrastructure projects.<\/h3>\n

Including a\u00a0new airport, the Haramaian Railway and the Kingdom Tower \u2013 all that will somehow make Jeddah a better place to live than it already is.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
