The Saudi Red Sea, with its untouched islands, vibrant reefs, and rich culture, is emerging as a destination for adventure, luxury, and discovery.
Looking for a new adventure? The Saudi Red Sea is one of the world’s last great undiscovered coastlines. Stretching 1,800 kilometres and dotted with over 1,000 untouched islands, it’s a place where coral reefs, golden beaches, and rich culture come together. Just a short flight from Jeddah or neighbouring GCC countries, this is a destination where you can dive, sail, ride, and explore at your own pace.
Dive beneath the surface
From staghorn coral mazes to bioluminescent night dives, the Red Sea’s northern region is a wonderland for snorkellers and scuba divers alike. Beginners can take introductory courses, while seasoned explorers can explore specialities like underwater photography or shark conservation.
Tee off by the ocean at KAEC
King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) blends modern luxury with coastal beauty. Its Royal Greens Golf & Country Club, framed by sweeping sea views, hosts international tournaments and offers one of the world’s most scenic rounds of golf.
Chase the waves with watersports
Charter a yacht, master the art of dinghy sailing, or test futuristic thrills like E-foiling. Paddleboarding and kayaking let you ride on crystal-clear waters or take you to tranquil coves, while kite surfing at Yam Beach brings adrenaline and speed to your Red Sea adventure.
Cast a line off Jeddah
Fishing here is as much meditation as it is sport. With snapper, grouper, and barracuda in the mix, every cast is a chance to land something spectacular. Pair it with a wander through Jeddah’s UNESCO-listed Al-Balad for a perfect balance of heritage and adventure.
Taste time in Al-Balad
Historic Jeddah is a feast of coral stone alleys, souks alive with colour, and street food that tells centuries of Hijazi history. From mutabbaq to fresh seafood and sweet dates, this is a place where culture and cuisine converge.
Saddle up by the shore
Few experiences rival cantering across golden sands on an Arabian horse as the sun dips below the horizon. With expert trainers guiding the ride, it’s an adventure steeped in tradition, ending with a seaside majlis and stories shared over local dishes.
Whether you’re diving beneath coral reefs, riding along golden sands, or tasting history in Jeddah, the Saudi Red Sea offers adventures you won’t find anywhere else.
