| | Jeddah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The supposed tomb of Eve was sealed with concrete by the religious authorities in 1975 as a result of some Muslim pilgrims breaking Wahhabi Islamic tradition by praying at Eve's tomb. | | | In 1924, King Ibn Sa'ud, whose clan originated in the central Najd province, conquered Mecca, Medina, and Jeddah, and deposed the Sharif, or ruler, of Mecca and the Hejaz, Hussein Bin 'Ali Al Hashem, who fled to Cyprus, settling eventually in Amman, Jordan, where his descendents became the Hashemite royal family (current king Abdullah II). | | | For over one thousand years, Jeddah has received thousands of pilgrims of different ethnicities and backgrounds -- from Africa, Central Asia, Southeast Asia -- many of whom remained and became citizens of the city. |

| | Jeddah - definition of Jeddah in Encyclopedia |
| | There are two accounts explaining the etymology of the name Jeddah, which is pronounced Jiddah in Arabic. | | | Some people, however, prefer to pronounce it Jaddah, which means "grandmother": in Islamic tradition, the tomb of Eve, grandmother of all humanity, is located in the city. | | | Founded as a fishing village over 2,500 years ago, it first achieved prominence in 647 A.D., when the Muslim caliph Uthman ibn Affan turned it into a port for pilgrims making the haj to Mecca. |

| | CGI, Jeddah - Jeddah City |
| | Jeddah is the Kingdom's principal seaport, the original gateway to Makkah and Madinah for pilgrims arriving by ship. | | | Present city has expanded and transformed into a metropolis but still holds true to its original charm and uniqueness thereby making it superb for its residents and a must for those who wish to visit her. | | | Juddah (pronounced Jiddah) in Arabic means seashore, which seems logical enough, but the school of thought which prefers Jaddah or grandmother, is given credence by the traditional location of Eve's tomb within the city. |
