A long coast, then islands

Jeddah was the port. The water continues. The islands sit in a pattern of reef and empty shore.

The Red Sea coast is long. Jeddah was the old port. South of it the water stays warm and the islands, including Farasan, sit in a pattern of reefs and unused shore. This is not a list of resorts. The water is the fact. The wind is the other fact.

Read Jeddah for Al-Balad and the civic walk. Use this page for the idea that the coast does not stop at the city limit. Coverage in the coast towns is real. The empty stretches between them are not a place to trust a live map.
