This guide explains what the group housing rules require, where Jeddah crews are usually housed, how meals work in a hot coastal city, and what to check before you commit 200 or 500 workers to a

Jeddah?<\/h2>\n<p>The same national rules apply in Jeddah as in every other Saudi city, and since September 2025 establishments have been required to house their workers in licensed collective housing.<\/p>\n<p>By June 2026 the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing reported more than 1,360 collective housing licences issued through the Balady platform, with capacity for around one million residents.<\/p>\n<p>The updated health, technical and safety requirements cover residential buildings of up to 23 metres, fenced residential complexes and mobile cabins on project sites, and licensed facilities were given up to a year to comply.<\/p>\n<table class=\"mtr-table mtr-tr-th\"><tr><th data-mtr-content=\"Requirement\" class=\"mtr-th-tag\"><div

March 2026 asks establishments with 20 or more workers to regularise their housing, and warns that unresolved violations can lead to the suspension of certain government services.<\/p>\n<p>A Balady licence is valid for one year, so for a contract longer than that you should ask how and when the provider renews it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more\"><a href=\"\/labour-camp-requirements-saudi-arabia\/\">Read the full labour camp requirements checklist<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Where in Jeddah should your workers live?<\/h2>\n<p>Jeddah is a long coastal city, so the location of the beds decides whether your crew spends 20 minutes or 90 minutes on a bus each way.<\/p>\n<p>Industrial demand is concentrated in the south of the governorate, where MODON runs three industrial cities.<\/p>\n<ul><li>The First Industrial City, established in 1971 on 12 million square metres east of the Al Rahmaniyah market, with more than 1,100 factories.<\/li><li>The Second Industrial City, established in 2009 on 8 million square metres west of the coastal road, about 30 kilometres from the first.<\/li><li>The Third Industrial City, established in 2012 on 80 million square metres east of the coastal road, of which 24 million have been developed, with more than 700 factories.<\/li><\/ul>\n<p>Crews working in these zones or around the port are best housed in the south, where most licensed collective housing already sits.<\/p>\n<p>Construction demand is different, because the large projects are in the centre and the north: Jeddah Central covers more than 5.7 million square metres on the waterfront, with an opera house, a museum, a stadium, an oceanarium, around 17,000 homes and more than 2,700 hotel rooms planned.<\/p>\n<p>Crews on those projects, on the airport corridor or in districts such as Briman and Obhur in the north should be housed on the same side of the city, even at a higher rate per bed, because a southern camp adds two long bus journeys to every working day.<\/p>\n<p>The ministry&#8217;s published collective housing conditions also set location rules: a site must be at least 300 metres from schools and hospitals, away from workplaces that emit dust or fumes, and for worker camps no more than 40 kilometres from the main urban area.<\/p>\n<div class=\"box\"><b>Practical tip<\/b><p>Ask the provider for the licence number and the licensed capacity of the exact building your crew will use, then check the bus route from that building to your gate at the real shift start time.<\/p><p>In Jeddah the difference between a camp in the south and one in the north is often more than an hour a day per worker.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>How does meal service work for Jeddah crews?<\/h2>\n<p>Most Jeddah contracts follow one rhythm: breakfast before the bus leaves, lunch delivered to the site in insulated containers, and dinner at the accommodation after the shift.<\/p>\n<p>Jeddah&#8217;s heat and humidity make the cold chain the most important detail in the kitchen plan, so ask how food is kept hot or cold between the kitchen and the site, how long it waits before serving, and who checks temperatures on arrival.<\/p>\n<p>Menus should match the nationalities in your crew, with rice, bread, lentils, vegetables and a protein every day, and should rotate on a cycle long enough that the same dish does not come back every few days.<\/p>\n<p>During Ramadan the kitchen switches to iftar and suhoor, and during the Hajj season roads around the city and towards Makkah are busier, so delivery windows need to be agreed early.<\/p>\n<p>Every food handler needs a municipal health certificate issued through Balady after a medical examination, valid for one year and renewable up to 60 days before it expires.<\/p>\n<p>Ask for those certificates and for the caterer&#8217;s food safety system, such as ISO 22000, before the first meal is served.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more\"><a href=\"\/labour-catering-price-per-person-per-day-saudi-arabia\/\">See how labour catering is priced per person per day<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>How do you house 200 to 500 workers in Jeddah at short notice?<\/h2>\n<p>Large requests are normal in Jeddah: in the last week alone buyers asked BICC for beds with meals for 200 workers and for 500 workers on a project in the north of the city.<\/p>\n<p>Headcounts of this size change the picture in four ways.<\/p>\n<ul><li>Capacity: a single licensed building rarely holds 500 beds, so ask whether the provider offers a dedicated block in its own camp or several buildings, and how far apart they are.<\/li><li>Phasing: crews rarely arrive on one day, so agree a mobilisation schedule with bed counts per week and a rate that applies only to occupied beds after a minimum.<\/li><li>Kitchen capacity: 500 lunches delivered to one gate at the same time need a kitchen, vehicles and serving staff sized for it, not a villa kitchen running overtime.<\/li><li>Transport: a 500-person crew needs a fleet of buses per shift rather than a minibus, and the routes should be planned around Jeddah&#8217;s morning traffic.<\/li><\/ul>\n<p>A provider with its own camp in Jeddah can usually move faster, because the licence, kitchen and supervisor are already in place and only the rooms and bus plan need to be allocated.<\/p>\n<p>If the crew is spread between Jeddah and a site outside the city, ask for one contract that covers both locations, so that meal counts and headcounts move with the workers.<\/p>\n<h2>What drives the cost per person per day in Jeddah?<\/h2>\n<p>Rates vary widely across the city, so it is more useful to understand the factors than to compare a single headline number.<\/p>\n<table class=\"mtr-table mtr-tr-th\"><tr><th data-mtr-content=\"Cost factor\" class=\"mtr-th-tag\"><div class=\"mtr-cell-content\">Cost
