For almost a century now, National Geographic has set the standards for nature, wildlife and cultural photography.

Nat Geo has featured many photos of Jeddah over the years, some of which are rarely seen. These photos of Jeddah exemplify its culture, people and architecture whilst capturing the true spirit of the city.

Most of the photos in this list are part of National Geographic’s Your Shot Community. The photos here can said to be a photographic celebration of ‘The Bride of the Red Sea’.
