Jeddah Corniche is not merely a coastal walkway—it’s an open-air theatre where the spirit of the city meets the rhythm of the Red Sea. Stretching for over 30 kilometers, this iconic waterfront blends natural beauty, urban artistry, and public life in a seamless expression of modern Saudi leisure and cultural identity.

Here, the sea is not just a backdrop—it’s a protagonist. As waves roll gently onto the promenade’s edge, joggers find rhythm, families gather under palm trees, and artists sketch the fluid horizon. It’s a space that welcomes everyone, from sunrise runners to twilight strollers. The Corniche isn’t just a destination; it’s a mood.

Gracefully poised above the waters of the Red Sea, Al Rahma Mosque, often called the Floating Mosque, is one of Jeddah’s most beloved landmarks. Built directly over the shoreline, its striking white structure appears to float at high tide, offering a unique blend of spiritual tranquility and architectural elegance.

This mosque welcomes visitors from all walks of life, whether you're here to pray or to admire the panoramic sea views from its surrounding promenade. Step inside to discover a calming interior filled with natural light, intricate Islamic design, and a deep sense of peace. It’s especially captivating at sunrise and sunset, when the light dances across the waves and the mosque’s silhouette reflects on the water.

Al Rahma Mosque is more than a place of worship; it’s a quiet moment of beauty, and a must-see stop on any coastal journey through Jeddah.

Visible from all across the city, King Fahd Fountain is a much-loved Jeddah landmark and a 30-year-old monument in the middle of the Red Sea. At 312 meters high, its waters decorate the sunset of Jeddah, and whether you are thinking of taking a picture or a video of that magical scene, seeing the fountain will not seem impossible no matter how far away you are. As the spectacular display of the fountain continues, you can walk around and try different kinds of food along the various stalls in Alhamra Cornish. Seven is the most popular kiosk on the walkway.

The museum owes its Ottoman-style architecture to the Turkish architect who came up with the initial design for Nassif House. Despite going through several renovations, the Nassif House museum still preserves its Ottoman architecture.

The museum’s central hall leads to the rectangular rooms and stairs to the south. Many of its rooms consist of artwork that dates back to the 19th century. The doors and hallways boast Arabic calligraphy that was done originally by Ottoman Turks.

There are two large Bay windows at the front side of the house, spanning over two levels above the main door. These windows have now become a staple of traditional Jeddah architecture. The ground floor is raised because of cisterns underneath it that store rainwater and keep the lower floors of the house cool. The museum also houses a library that has around 16,000 books belonging to King Abdulaziz University’s central library.

Nestled along the Red Sea, Historic Jeddah, known as Al Balad, stands as a testament to the city's rich history and cultural significance.
