Modern and sprawling, Fakieh Aquarium is dedicated to the rich and abundant marine life of the Red Sea. It's perched on the coast, just south of the Jeddah Corniche.

This gem serves delicious fresh seafood straight from the Red Sea. There are so many amazing dishes on the menu, but if we had to choose our favourite, it would be the fried Najel. It's an absolute must-try. 

With views of the Red Sea and a world-class spa (just think sauna, Turkish hammam, in- and outdoor pools) this classic, high-end hotel is the perfect escape from the bustling city. While you're there, make sure to dine at one of the four on-site restaurants that offer anything from traditional Middle Eastern and Asian to Mediterranean food. 

This bustling market is riddled with local fishermen displaying vibrant, colourful fish—just hauled from the Red Sea. The market's lively atmosphere and the stunning variety of fish make it a popular destination for both locals and tourists.
