Security Considerations in Jeddah
Jeddah receives large numbers of visitors throughout the year as the main gateway for many Umrah and Hajj pilgrims through King Abdulaziz International Airport, and this is reflected in store and hotel traffic during the Umrah and Hajj seasons. These sites need officers who can deal calmly with visitors of many nationalities and languages and manage queues and entrances at peak hours.
Jeddah hosts major events such as the Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and the Red Sea International Film Festival, as well as seasonal events on the waterfront. These occasions affect traffic around the Corniche, Obhur and nearby areas, and this is taken into account in shift change times and officer arrival plans, and in coverage of the launches and private events that accompany them.
Jeddah combines high humidity for most of the year with extreme summer heat, and many stores stay open late into the night. Guard schedules therefore need sufficient evening and overnight coverage, weather-appropriate uniforms for officers at exterior entrances and parking areas, and clear organization of rest breaks, especially at stores on open shopping streets.

Common Questions
Can Security Coverage for a Store in Jeddah Be Adjusted During the Umrah and Hajj Seasons and Major Events?
The program can be designed with a base level of coverage and additional levels for periods of higher traffic. These periods, officer numbers and coverage times are set in writing after the site assessment.
How Is Security Guard Coverage Priced?
Rates depend on the officer classification, hours, schedule and site requirements. McCray provides a written rate schedule after reviewing the needs of each site. Holiday, overnight and short-notice coverage is billed at a higher rate.
