Tabuk & Madinah Provinces
Red Sea
The Red Sea coast north of Jeddah gives you tropical-grade water and empty beaches without the resort furniture that makes most tropical locations unusable.
Terrain
- Over ninety islands across the Red Sea Project archipelago, most completely undeveloped.
- Turquoise shallows over white sand, with genuinely clear water for underwater and half-and-half work.
- Mangrove channels and tidal flats — a texture almost nobody expects from Saudi Arabia.
- Umluj: long empty white-sand beaches backed by low dunes and volcanic rock.
- Coral reef systems close to shore, in good condition compared with most of the world's accessible reefs.
- Volcanic harrat fields inland — black basalt against white sand, a very strong graphic contrast.
Access & permits
- Red Sea International Airport (RSI) serves the development directly.
- Island access is by boat or helicopter and is weather-dependent. Build contingency days into any island schedule — this is the single most common scheduling failure on this coast.
- Marine filming, dive work and drone flight over water each require separate clearance.
- Much of the reef and island system sits within environmental protection zones with strict conditions on anchoring, footprint and waste. Reinstatement is checked.
- Tides matter for mangrove and shallow work. Schedule to the tide table, not to the call sheet.
