Is it safe to drink tap water in Jeddah? Yes

Water Drinkable Score: 55/100

In Jeddah, tap water primarily comes from desalinated seawater coming from the Red Sea. The water contains basic minerals due to the desalination process, but it may not have sufficient amounts for direct consumption without additional filtration or treatment. Over the years, Jeddah's water quality has been a subject of improvements. The Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture is responsible for the water quality, while the National Water Company handles its distribution.
