Jeddah City
is a Saudi city located in the middle of the eastern coast of the red sea known as the Bride of the Red
Sea and is considered the economic and tourism capital of the country. Its population is estimated
around 3.4 million and it is the second largest city after Riyadh.
The foundation of the city of Jeddah is dated back to around 3000 years when groups of fishermen
used to settle in it after their fishing trips. After that, the tribe of ‹Quda›ah› came to Jeddah 2500 years
ago and settled in it and was known by it.
The historical transformation of Jeddah was in the era of the third Muslim Caliph Othman Bin Affan
(May Allah be Pleased with Him) in 647 AD when he ordered the city to be transformed into a port to
welcome pilgrims (Hajjis) coming by sea for the Holy Pilgrimage in Makkah. To this day, Jeddah is the
main passage for both sea and air pilgrims as well as those traveling by road.
Jeddah has grown during the last two decades of the 20th Century, which made the city a center for
money and business in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and a major and important port for exporting
non-oil related goods as well as importing domestic needs.

Historic Jeddah
Is situated on the eastern shore of the Red Sea. From the 7th century A.D. it was established as a major
port for Indian Ocean trade routes, channeling goods to Mecca. It was also the gateway for Muslim
pilgrims to Mecca who arrived by sea. These twin roles saw the city develop into a thriving multicultural
center, characterized by a distinctive architectural tradition, including tower houses built in the late
19th century by the city’s mercantile elites, and combining Red Sea coastal coral building traditions
with influences and crafts from along the trade routes. On Saturday, 23 August 1435, corresponding
to June 21, 2014 AD was adopted historic area of Jeddah in the global Architectural Heritage List,
after the approval of the World Heritage Committee on recorded during a meeting of the UNESCO
Committee at its thirty-eighth session in Qatar.

non-standard government contract and using FIDIC instead, the ability to prequalify contractors to
ensure specialized contractors are equally competitive, and to have separate bids for the technical

of the technical package first. It is worth mentioning that MJC has two superior committees:
