The answer

Jeddah has been known by this name since ancient times; it is the coast of Mecca. Al-Bayhaqi narrated from Ibn Abbas that he was asked about shortening prayers to Arafat, and he replied, "No, but to Usfan, to Jeddah, and to Taif." Jeddah was also mentioned in the story of the Quraysh rebuilding the Kaaba, which indicates that it was known during the time of the Prophet, peace be upon him, and before him.
