    This video examines the ancient Red Sea port of Jeddah, one of the oldest commercial waterways in the world, and renowned in the Middle East as "the Bride of the Sea." Archival footage and contemporary scenes trace the recent historical development of Jeddah, today a modern metropolis where traditional Hejazi architecture mingles with towering skyscrapers, and offer a glimpse of the city's music and culture, including scenes of the annual religious pilgrimage to nearby Mecca.
