Instead of Palm Trees,
I see many trees with thin, small long leaves along the streets in Jeddah.

Does anyone know the name of the tree?

Neem Tree

you can find Neem tree lot in India.   you can google it. high medicinal plant and kill lots of bacteria and insects


Neem is a fast-growing tree that can reach a height of 15–20 metres (49–66 ft), and rarely 35–40 metres (115–131 ft). It is evergreen, but in severe drought it may shed most or nearly all of its leaves. The branches are wide and spreading. The fairly dense crown is roundish and may reach a diameter of 15–20 metres (49–66 ft) in old, free-standing specimens. The neem tree is very similar in appearance to its relative

Also a nuisance in gardens, it grows like wild fire

Hi guys thank you so much for your help but maybe the picture is not the plant in question. Do you think these are also neem trees?

If you see these on the ground or on the tree it's a neem tree

Never in my life did I see that grow flower of some sort. Most people use it here for shaping it into different shapes for decor in front of their building

I think you mean a tree we call it here
بزروميا
Bazromia
But I'm not sure about the English name.

nicebreak

Wow thank you so much!
Do you know why we have so much of Bazronia here?
Is it heat, and salt resistant?
These trees have been protecting me in my life here. 
I wanted to know more about them to appreciate them...

Ali_Abdullah

If I'm not mistaken its called conocarpus tree.
We used to have some arround the house , its big shade and endless grow. And you only need to water them when they small, once they big , no water needed. Their root goes too deep. but my father cut them all off. Coz their root missed up under ground water tank.

nicebreak

Wow this plant is very strong as their roots grow deep!

Thank you for giving me English name.
It helped me to google articles about this tree

This article talks about the problem you mentioned
