JEDDAH, Feb 26 (Bernama-SPA) -- The Jeddah Waterfront has emerged as a leading tourist destination during Ramadan. The site offers a comprehensive experience that combines entertainment, sports, arts and hospitality, Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

The promenade, extends along the Red Sea, provides visitors with an ideal setting for evening walks after iftar in a calm atmosphere and pleasant weather. Subtle nighttime lighting enhances the ambience and reflects the spirit of the holy month.

The waterfront also features international art installations displayed along the coast. Works by artists such as Henry Moore and Joan Miró add a cultural dimension and reinforce the site’s status as a landmark in Jeddah.

Visitor numbers peak during late evening hours. Families gather under Ramadan-themed illuminations in a lively social setting. Some visitors choose later hours to enjoy the calm sea and its shimmering reflections.

The surrounding hospitality sector supports the destination’s appeal. Nearby hotels offer views of the Red Sea and help increase accommodation capacity during Ramadan. The area also includes cafés, restaurants, and secure children’s play zones within open green spaces.

According to SPA, the increase in tourism activity at Jeddah Waterfront during Ramadan reflects efforts to strengthen the competitiveness of national destinations. It also reinforces Jeddah’s position as a key visitor hub in line with Vision 2030 objectives.
