I have stayed out till after midnight many days! And lived here my entire life. Generally, Jeddah is very safe for travelers, especially women. I can confidently say that women can solo visit Jeddah with peace of mind.

Solo travel
I did a 4 day stopover in Jeddah and I had a blast. The old town was gorgeous. People were mostly active at night and it was just such a different experience. Very few tourists and I felt safe as a solo female traveler.
