Jeddah Corniche

Jeddah's nearly 20-mile waterfront promenade winds along the Red Sea and is the location for several luxury hotels, in addition to being a popular spot for locals and travelers alike for scenic strolls and picnics. The area was developed in the late 2010s to offer a resort-like space, with restaurants and retail areas just off the promenade, and swimmable beaches, man-made islands and small parks along the sea. There is also an open-air gallery with contemporary art installations and statues by such artists as Henry Moore, Joan Miró and Victor Vasarely—as well as sites of cultural interest, like King Fahd's Fountain, the highest fountain in the world, and the Al-Rahmah Mosque. The Corniche is also home to the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, the site of the 2021 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
