Change in public access to U.S. Consulate General Jeddah

Due to increased traffic on Palestine Road and ongoing traffic safety concerns, public access to the U.S. Consulate General in Jeddah is now available only at the Hail Street entrance.   Existing traffic signals on the corners of Hail and Palestine Streets (immediately across from Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital) make it possible for Consulate visitors to cross the street, entering a concealed walkway, gaining safer Consulate access.
