Located along the Red Sea, the corniche features a coastal road, recreation areas, pavilions and large-scale civic sculptures as well as King Fahd's Fountain, the highest fountain in the world. Also located here is the Al-Rahmah Mosque (formerly known as the Fatimah Mosque), which is a popular attraction to visitors.[1]

The Jeddah Corniche derives its name from the original French and Italian term for a coastal road, especially a road along the face of a cliff.[citation needed] It is divided into a number of areas some of them are allocated for children to play safely and others are designed for athletes and those who want to exercise outdoors. Moreover, Jeddah Waterfront has three sandy beaches where people can swim and enjoy the warm sun of Jeddah. There are also many spots that are planted with grass where families and friends can meet. People can also use the 25 huts scattered in different spots. The three sandy beaches designed for swimmers are fronted with man-made islands that are given the shape of a crescent moon and planted with palms trees. A man-made island formed in the shape of a crescent moon has been planted with dozens of palm trees. Jeddah Waterfront is also equipped with a hundred surveillance cameras as well as Wi-Fi service.[6

It is a nice cozy beach. You would need a membership to get access or be invited by a member (via coupons). The beach: Its not that big, but it is fine. Bit rocky on the shore, needs to be cleaned up. Water is not too deep in the 1st 15meters, maybe 1.5m deep. Then gets bit more deep until the yellow line. That will always depend on the tide. There is a bar just at entrance of sandy beach where you can order drinks and food to your hut. Then there is a section that is further upfront for diving, where you can register for classes, rent equipment, etc... Pool: Nice big pool, not deep. Mostly filled by kids during weekend. Open sapce: There is a beach volleyball court. Around it people play lots of other sports, like football, rackets.... Also on weekends there is a DJ. Restaurant: Indoor and outdoor seating. Food is good and prices are fair. Toilets: Clean most of the time.

All in all a good resort to hang out during weekends in Jeddah. Nice groups of people. Just remember, photography is...

I understand why it is cheaper than its counterparts. I paid SAR 1,000 for 10 visit "family card". First visit, my wife and myself were allowed. Ssecond visit, my wife was not allowed on my card. We asked to apply for her own card, and were dismissed. Apparently the first time the Syrian at the counter thought my wife was my girlfriend and was doing me a a favor... he ended up checking our marriage certificate twice but did not change his mind.

Arrogant and aggressive staff.

Decently clean beach, but as expected from a private beach.

Food and drinks are average at best (and of course excessively marked up)

As a man who is sun sentivite, I was prohibited from wearing a surfer top to protect my skin. My wife was also stopped from entering the water unless she removed her top (ironic one would think).

Does not accept card payments, and I am sure there is VAT evasion as I have not received any...
