[Pay Your North Jeddah Rent Monthly](#pay-your-north-jeddah-rent-monthly) 6. [Frequently Asked Questions](#frequently-asked-questions) Which north Jeddah neighbourhoods do renters look at most? The ones with the most apartment listings are **Al Salamah**, **Al Safa**, **Al Marwa**, **Al Bawadi** and **Al Rawdah**, followed by **Al Nuzhah**, **Al Faisaliyah**, **Al Rabwa**, **Al Nahda**, **Al Zahra** and **Al Naeem**. For a villa, look at **Obhur North**, **Obhur South** and **Al Shati**. Across the 14 districts in this guide, the median two-bedroom apartment asks SAR 42,000 a year (about 3,500 a month), from 33,000 in Al Rabwa and Al Bawadi (about 2,800 a month) to 60,000 in Al Nahda (about 5,000 a month). The median villa asks SAR 100,000 a year (about 8,300 a month) ([Data by Kite](https://kite.sa/)). For the whole city, Al Hamra included, see [the Jeddah neighbourhoods guide](https://ejari.sa/en/blog/jeddah-rental-guide-2026/). > **What “north Jeddah” means here.** There is no official list of north and south Jeddah districts, so we use Kite’s grouping: Kite puts 55 districts in the north, including some that many people count as central Jeddah, such as Al Rawdah, Al Safa, Al Faisaliyah, Al Aziziyah and Al Sharafiyah. The grouping is Kite’s, not an official one. Kite doesn’t put Al Hamra in either north or south Jeddah, so it’s covered in [the Jeddah neighbourhoods guide](https://ejari.sa/en/blog/jeddah-rental-guide-2026/). > **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](https://kite.sa/). ## North Jeddah Neighbourhood Rents at a Glance | District | 2-bed apartment (SAR a year) | 3-bed apartment (SAR a year) | Villa (SAR a year) | | -------------------- | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------ | | Al Nahda | 60,000 | 70,000 | — | | Al Rawdah | 50,000 | 56,000 | — | | Al Zahra | 48,000 | 55,000 | — | | Al Salamah | 46,000 | 45,000 | — | | Al Faisaliyah | 45,000 | 37,000 | — | | Al Naeem | 42,000 | 50,000 | — | | Al Nuzhah | 42,000 | 39,000 | — | | Al Marwa | 42,000 | 34,000 | — | | Al Safa | 38,000 | 38,000 | — | | Al Bawadi | 33,000 | 30,000 | — | | Al Rabwa | 33,000 | 32,000 | — | | Obhur South | — | 43,000 | 120,000 | | Al Shati | — | — | 150,000 | | Obhur North | — | — | 85,000 | | **All 14 districts** | **42,000** | **45,000** | **100,000** | “—” means the segment has fewer than 20 listings in that district, so we don’t quote it. Figures are median asking rents. [Data by Kite](https://kite.sa/). Kite also puts Al Khalidiyah and Al Andalus in the north, but they have fewer than 20 listings in every segment, so we don’t quote them. ## How to Choose Among North Jeddah Neighbourhoods **Distance from the sea.** The highest apartment figures are in Al Nahda, east of Al Shati and close to the sea, and the lowest are in inland districts such as Al Rabwa and Al Bawadi: a gap of SAR 27,000 a year on a two-bedroom. **Apartment or villa.** The districts near the city centre, such as Al Rawdah, Al Salamah, Al Safa and Al Faisaliyah, have plenty of apartment listings and fewer than 20 villa listings. For a villa, go further 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 Nuzhah, the median three-bedroom asks less than the two-bedroom, and in Al Salamah and Al Safa about the same. ## North 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](https://kite.sa/). ### Al Nahda East of Al Shati and close to the sea.
