Which Jeddah neighbourhoods do renters look at most? Among those with the most apartment listings are Al Salamah, Al Safa, Al Marwa and Al Rawdah, followed by Al Faisaliyah, Al Rabwa, Al Nahda, Al Zahra, Al Hamra and Al Naeem. For a villa, look at Obhur North, Obhur South and Al Shati. Across Jeddah, the median two-bedroom apartment asks SAR 42,000 a year (about 3,500 a month); among the districts in this guide it runs from 33,000 in Al Rabwa (about 2,800 a month) to 60,000 in Al Nahda (about 5,000 a month). The median villa in Jeddah asks SAR 80,000 a year (about 6,700 a month) (Data by Kite).

About the rents in this guide. They are asking rents: what landlords listed apartments and villas for in listings updated between 4 October and 3 November 2026, not what tenants signed. Each figure is the median, and each district’s section adds the middle half of listings (the 25th to the 75th percentile). Figures are yearly, rounded to the nearest 1,000, and the monthly equivalent is the yearly figure divided by 12. We don’t publish a figure for any segment with fewer than 20 listings in the district. Data by Kite.

“—” means the segment has fewer than 20 listings in that district, so we don’t quote it. The “All of Jeddah” row covers every district in the city, not only those in the table. Figures are median asking rents. Data by Kite.
Al Khalidiyah and Al Andalus were in the previous version of this guide, but they now have fewer than 20 listings in every segment, so we don’t quote them.
How to Choose Among Jeddah Neighbourhoods
Distance from the sea. The highest figures in the table are in districts near the sea: Al Nahda, Al Shati and Al Hamra. The lowest are in the inland districts east of them, such as Al Rabwa, Al Safa and Al Marwa. If living near the sea isn’t a must, the gap on a two-bedroom can be more than SAR 20,000 a year.
Apartment or villa. Central Jeddah has plenty of apartment listings but fewer than 20 villa listings in most districts. Villa listings cluster in the north: Obhur North and South, and Al Yaqout, which has the most villa listings for rent in Jeddah (93, at a median of SAR 75,000 a year).
More bedrooms don’t always cost more. In Al Faisaliyah, Al Marwa and Al Salamah, the median three-bedroom asks less than the two-bedroom or about the same. Don’t assume the extra room costs extra: compare listings yourself.
Jeddah, District by District
The figures below follow the table’s method: the median yearly asking rent, with the middle half of listings. Data by Kite.
Al Nahda
East of Al Shati and close to the sea. Its median two-bedroom is the highest in this guide: SAR 60,000 a year (about 5,000 a month), but the range is wide, from 38,000 to 66,000. Most of its listings are three-bedrooms, at a median of 70,000 (about 5,800 a month), between 57,000 and 80,000.
Al Hamra
Near the Corniche. The median two-bedroom asks SAR 55,000 a year (about 4,600 a month) in a tight range, 48,000 to 60,000, and the three-bedroom the same median, 55,000, between 48,000 and 65,000. Kite doesn’t put Al Hamra in either north or south Jeddah, so it’s covered in this guide only.
Al Shati
On the sea. It has fewer than 20 listings each for two- and three-bedroom flats, but its villas have the highest median in this guide: SAR 150,000 a year (about 12,500 a month), between 130,000 and 185,000.
Al Rawdah
Central, south of Al Salamah, and second only to Al Salamah for two- and three-bedroom listings in Jeddah. The median two-bedroom asks SAR 50,000 a year (about 4,200 a month), between 40,000 and 58,000, and the three-bedroom 56,000 (about 4,700 a month), between 45,000 and 70,000.
Al Zahra
South of Al Nahda and west of Al Salamah. Most of its listings are three-bedrooms, at a median of SAR 55,000 a year (about 4,600 a month), between 40,000 and 66,000. The two-bedroom asks 48,000 (about 4,000 a month), between 36,000 and 55,000.
Al Salamah
The district with the most apartment listings in Jeddah. The median two-bedroom asks SAR 46,000 a year (about 3,800 a month), between 40,000 and 59,000, and the three-bedroom 45,000 (about 3,800 a month), between 37,000 and 60,000. So there’s plenty of choice, and a three-bedroom here costs about the same as a two-bedroom.
Al Faisaliyah
East of Al Rawdah. The median two-bedroom asks SAR 45,000 a year (about 3,800 a month) across a wide range, 32,000 to 55,000, and the three-bedroom less: 37,000 (about 3,100 a month), between 32,000 and 45,000.
Al Naeem
North of Al Zahra. The median two-bedroom asks SAR 42,000 a year (about 3,500 a month), between 38,000 and 49,000, and the three-bedroom 50,000 (about 4,200 a month) in a tight range, 45,000 to 55,000.
Al Marwa
North of Al Rabwa, and one of the busiest districts in Jeddah for apartment listings. The median two-bedroom asks SAR 42,000 a year (about 3,500 a month), between 35,000 and 42,000, and the three-bedroom less: 34,000 (about 2,800 a month), between 28,000 and 37,000, among the lowest three-bedroom figures in this guide.
Al Safa
East of Al Faisaliyah, and third in Jeddah for two-bedroom listings. Two- and three-bedroom flats both ask a median of SAR 38,000 a year (about 3,200 a month): two-bedrooms between 30,000 and 42,000, three-bedrooms between 30,000 and 52,000.
Al Rabwa
North of Al Faisaliyah. It has the lowest median two-bedroom in this guide: SAR 33,000 a year (about 2,800 a month), between 26,000 and 36,000. The three-bedroom asks 32,000 (about 2,700 a month), between 29,000 and 41,000.
Obhur North and South
The northernmost districts in this guide, with Obhur North closer to the sea than Obhur South. Most demand here is for villas. The median villa in Obhur North asks SAR 85,000 a year (about 7,100 a month) in a tight range, 73,000 to 90,000, and it has the most villa listings of any district in this guide. Obhur South’s villas cost more: 120,000 (about 10,000 a month), between 95,000 and 150,000. Three-bedroom flats in Obhur South ask a median of 43,000 (about 3,600 a month), between 35,000 and 56,000; two-bedrooms in both districts, and three-bedrooms in Obhur North, have fewer than 20 listings.
Old Jeddah (Al Balad)
Historic Jeddah is on UNESCO’s World Heritage List as “Historic Jeddah, the Gate to Makkah”. Al Balad has fewer than 20 rental listings in every segment, so it isn’t in this guide’s table.
Who Each District Suits
- A two-bedroom budget of about SAR 35,000 to 40,000 a year: start with Al Rabwa (33,000) and Al Safa (38,000), then Al Marwa and Al Naeem (42,000).
- A three-bedroom for under SAR 40,000 a year: Al Rabwa (32,000) and Al Marwa (34,000), then Al Faisaliyah (37,000) and Al Safa (38,000).
- You want to be near the sea: Al Nahda and Al Hamra for apartments, Al Shati for villas.
- A villa for under SAR 100,000 a year: Obhur North (85,000), or Al Yaqout (75,000), which has the most villa listings in Jeddah.
Pay Your Jeddah Rent Monthly
If your landlord asks for the whole year’s rent upfront, a two-bedroom in Al Salamah at the median SAR 46,000 a year means a large sum on signing day. With Ejari, we pay your landlord the year’s rent upfront and you pay us back in 12 monthly payments, so you get the lease you want in the neighbourhood you want and keep your savings intact.
