WhatsApp Business API in Jeddah

Local numbers

Jeddah landlines use +966 12 and the commercial registration Meta checks is issued for the Makkah region — the CR number's region is visible on the Wathq record, and a Makkah-region CR is what a Jeddah trading address has to match; a CR registered in Riyadh with a Jeddah address is the mismatch that stalls verification here. Jeddah's calendar is the Hajj and Umrah seasons: hotels, transport operators and tour agencies send arrival, pickup and group-movement messages to pilgrims who arrived through a Ministry-licensed operator and never opted into anything, which is why those templates have to be utility, not marketing.
