Gulf Air operates daily flights to Jeddah, the major commercial centre of Saudi Arabia. A flight to Jeddah will open the doors to the many sightseeing opportunities, shopping districts, restaurants and cafes, beaches and resorts clustered around the largest waterfront in Saudi Arabia.
Once your flight to Jeddah lands and you are settled in a hotel you can start your tour with a visit to Jeddah's top sight: al-Balad, or the old town where a warren of ancient buildings, traditional souks and coral houses can be found. Among those houses is Naseef House which is the former house of one of Jeddah's main trading families, now a museum of sorts.
There are plenty of other sights which are worth viewing when you take a flight to Jeddah including the Corniche (waterfront), the Red Sea shore, and Jeddah's fountain, the highest in the world. And to spend some fun time there are plenty of amazing parks in Jeddah like the Sail Island (water park), Jungle Land Amusement park and Al-Shalal Theme Park.
If you are interested in scuba diving then your flight to Jeddah will give you the opportunity to dive in the Red Sea, where the coral is virtually untouched and there are plenty of interesting sites to explore, like the Chicken Wreck, a boat carrying tons of frozen chicken that hit the reef and sunk at a depth of 10-18m. Most of the better dive sites are around one hour out to sea by fast boat.
Before you take your flight back to home you may enjoy buying gifts at the several malls in Jeddah, including Red Sea mall which is one of the biggest shopping malls in Jeddah.
Flights to Jeddah land at King Abdul-Aziz International Airport, the largest airport in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and if you are going for Hajj pilgrimage or Umrah then you can take a connection flight to Mecca or Medina, the two sacred cities in Islam.
