As a port city, Jeddah has fully embraced the chill seaside vibe and the Jeddah Waterfront is a prime example of local culture meshing with urban living. So here is the Top 10 Jeddah Waterfront activities

1. The Island Mosque

A Jeddah icon, this mosque is built on a tiny island on the northern part of the Corniche. This architectural accent to the Jeddah landscape looks extra magnificent with a sunset backdrop over the sea.

2. Go Fish

In early mornings, you’ll find fishing enthusiasts hunched over the JWF rails waiting for fresh catch. There’s a dedicated fishing pier too, where you’ll find vendors selling basic equipment if you decide to go on a whim.

3. Take a Bike!

Rent a bike at one of the shops located close to the New Corniche and pedal away.

4. Take a Stroll on The Longest Pedestrian Bridge

This lights up with starry-like led lights in the evenings and gives you a spectacular view of the sunset.

Tip: visit at night

5. Roll Out The Picnic Mat

Want the real Jeddawi experience? Buy a 3-riyal cup of tea and grab some fis fis from one of the stalls and just watch the waves.

6. Chill At The XJED

Waiting for the next act on stage? Walk along XJEDDAH and you’ll discover a ton of activities, from food trucks, air slingshots, to live performances happening throughout the season.

7. TRY Flyboarding!
