Jeddah's air quality benefits from its exceptional Red Sea coastal position, with consistent Red Sea northerly winds providing reliable maritime ventilation along the Hijaz Tihama coastal plain. Vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and port, manufacturing, and construction operations contribute local sources, while windblown Hijaz Desert dust contributes PM10 during dust events and Jeddah generally maintains moderate to good Saudi Arabian coastal metropolitan readings with better conditions than the enclosed Riyadh basin throughout most of the year.
