If you are living in Jeddah or plan to move to Jeddah in near future; this question must be arising in your mind as everyone wants to spend some quality time on the weekends after hectic work schedules for the whole week.
Jeddah is a city in a country with strict rules, true Islamic culture and a life-style mainly dominated by the religious beliefs. So, you can’t expect a weekend time here to match to the activities that of Europe or any western country.
In this post, I will talk about some of the good things that you can take into consideration to have your weekend void of any boredom.
Best of the best–Visit Holy Makkah
If you are a Muslim, nothing can be much better than visiting the holy Haram in Makkah to perform Umrah or even just a tawaf. For the lucky people living in Jeddah; this holy place is just at a distance of 70KM which makes it possible to easily go there and perform the rituals in 
a span of just few hours.
You can go to Makkah and offer Friday prayers, spend some time in the sacred mosque, get blessed by performing tawaf or complete Umrah, visit some of the other holy places in Makkah and make it a weekend full of spiritual satisfaction and “ajar”.
Going to Makkah from Jeddah is very easy from commuting perspective as well. If you own a car or get a rented car; It will be just an hour or so for you to reach, there. The other options are to book a taxi, go by the SAPTCO buses or share the taxi ride with other passengers for a cheaper travel.
Spend Time at Jeddah Corniche
The Jeddah Corniche — divided into the southern, central, and northern corniche — stretches almost 110 kilometres, with plenty of international hotels, restaurants, amusement parks, places for fishing, picnic areas, a science museum, and mosques. But most importantly, it has the famous King Fahd Fountain, also known as the Jeddah Fountain, which has become the symbol of Jeddah.
You can enjoy a boat ride on the open Red Sea with family and friends. Such facilities can be found on the Northern Obhur Corniche, where a number of boats and yachts are available for rent on an hourly or daily basis. Some are fishing boats, while others have been turned into floating restaurants.
The Northern Corniche is a strip that extends from the Coast Guard building to Fatima Al-Zahra Mosque, also known as the floating mosque. The Northern Corniche is made up of three routes — each one travels in both directions — that create artificial lakes along the roads and stretch toward the sea.
Another fascinating place is Atallah Happy Land Park, with rides for adults and children. It is an amusement park with indoor and outdoor rides and attractions, ice-skating and bowling, dining and shopping, and a 6D theatre.
