    What Can You Expect from Expat Life in Jeddah?

    As a socially conservative, Islamic destination, there are certain rules and customs that visiting expats need to be aware of, and you can find these in our comprehensive guides to moving to and living in Jeddah. Expats will usually live in up-scale compounds off limits to religious police, where foreigners can socialize freely and attend regular parties. Dining out and shopping are popular pastimes, but Jeddah is particularly well equipped for the active amongst you, with sporting activities that make the most of the climate and location on the Red Sea. Horse riding, golf, fishing, sailing, water skiing, and wind surfing are all popular, and of course you shouldn't ignore the fantastic diving opportunities that this coast offers. As a busy sea port, the shipping and exporting business is an integral part of the local economy, as is construction, mining, steel, and aluminum production. Industries popular with expats include finance and real estate, ICT, food processing, social services, education, and healthcare. In the future, experts predict that energy production and vehicle engineering will also soon be important industries in Jeddah.
