Event Halls in North Jeddah: How Far Is Palazzo Ballroom?

Anyone searching for event halls in north Jeddah wants a venue that is a short drive from home and from relatives in the north. Our address carries the road name “Al Haramain Road North”, but the venue is not in the far north. It is in Al Waha, in the east-central part of the city. So we let the numbers speak. These were read from Google Maps on Wednesday 30 September 2026 during the evening rush hour, which is the slowest time of day:

Put plainly: the venue serves the northern districts that sit close to Al Haramain Road. From the north-western districts near the sea, and from Obhur and beyond, the drive exceeds half an hour at peak time, and we do not describe ourselves as near them.

Why Families in the North Still Choose It

Guests rarely all live in one district. A wedding hosted by a family in Al Marwah, with guests in As Safa, Ar Rehab, As Samer, Bani Malik and An Naseem, needs a venue at a midpoint that everyone can reach from the expressway. That is where the venue stands: at Palestine Bridge, where Palestine Street from the city centre meets Al Haramain Road from the north and south. Three further things are harder to find in neighbourhood halls: a large car park in front, three halls that combine for more than 2,000 guests, and separate men's and women's sections with their own entrances.

Arriving From Al Haramain Road

Coming from the north, drive south on Al Haramain Road and leave at the exit for Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Street, then continue for about five kilometres. The route ends with a U-turn, because the venue is on the eastern side of the road. With navigation running this takes care of itself: search for “Palazzo Ballroom” or “Platso Auditorium”, or use the map further down this page. From Makkah, take the expressway north to Palestine Bridge; the distance from Masjid al-Haram is 83 km. The Haramain high-speed railway station in As Sulimaniyah is 10.2 km and 14 minutes away.

What About the Rest of Jeddah?

The venue is closer to the east and centre of the city than to the north. The nearest districts are Al Waha itself at 3 minutes, Ar Rehab at 9, Bani Malik at 12 and As Samer at 14, all measured at the same rush hour. The full table of sixteen locations is on Palazzo Ballroom location.

The Venue Itself

Behind the location is a wedding venue with three halls under a golden dome: separate men's and women's sections, a bridal stage and catering, for more than 2,000 guests combined or a single hall for smaller occasions. The venue also hosts conferences and corporate events and graduation ceremonies. For events with delegates flying in, the single-road run from the airport matters more than any district: see meeting rooms in Jeddah for smaller corporate formats.

A Note on the Word “North”

“North” in the address is part of the road's name, not a description of where the venue sits in the city. Visitors who read the address sometimes expect a hall near Obhur or the northern Corniche. It is about 18 km south of the airport. If your priority is a venue in the far north or by the sea, this is not it, and it is better to know that before you drive over.
