Joudyan Hotel Red Sea Mall
Renowned for its prime location in north Jeddah’s new business district, the five-star Joudyan Hotel (previously known as Elaf Red Sea Mall) opened in 2022. The relaunch was a powerful signal of SEDCO’s commitment to supporting Vision 2030 objectives, specifically to strengthen the contribution of the tourism sector to the national economy and enhance the private sector’s participation in Saudi Arabia’s development journey.
With its 154 guest rooms and suites. As it adjoins Red Sea Mall, Joudyan guests can enjoy a vibrant experience centered on the numerous dining, shopping, and entertainment activities just a few minutes’ walk away.
Elaf Kinda and Elaf Bakkah
Proximity to the Holy Mosque and King Abdulaziz Gate has always been a priority for Muslim pilgrims seeking accommodation with convenient access to the sacred sites. In this respect, SEDCO’s Elaf Kinda and Elaf Bakkah properties are a natural choice, both enjoying exceptional locations in Makkah.
Acquired/developed by SEDCO in 1991, the five-star, 240-room Elaf Kinda opened in 1994 and is located in Ibrahim Khalil Street, just 2.4 km from the Holy Mosque. It was the subject of an extensive SAR 58 million refurbishment and renovation project in 2013 to create extra accommodation capacity during the Haj season.
Developed by SEDCO, the four-star, 810-room Elaf Bakkah opened in 2012. Located in Makkah’s Mahbas Aljinn district, 4 km from the Holy Mosque, it occupies a land area of 3,651 sqm and offers a total of 810 units.
