"One of the best ways to find a place to live in Jeddah is to search online for rental listings. There are many websites that offer listings of apartments, villas, and other types of housing in Jeddah. Additionally, you can search for real estate agents in the area who can help you find a place to live. You can also ask friends and family who live in Jeddah for recommendations.
