Discover Jizan, Saudi pearl on the Red Sea shores

This sprawling economic city started being constructed in 2006 and is set to be one of the primary drivers of the Saudi Arabian economy. Explore the wonderland of natural sites found near Jizan, Saudi Arabia. Walk to the edge of the Red Sea directly and watch the impressive cargo ships going in and out of the Port of Jizan, Saudi Arabia's main seaport in the south. Or head up the coast to find Beesh Beach, one of the most popular beaches in Saudi Arabia.
