King Abdullah Economic City

Explore the Middle East on your cruise to Saudi Arabia & Red Sea: About a 100 km north of Jeddah you find the megaproject of the former King of Saudi Arabia, Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud: King Abdullah Economic City.

The port of King Abdullah Economic City is part of the Maritime Silk Road that runs from the Chinese coast via the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean, and from there to the Upper Adriatic region of Trieste with its connections to Central and Eastern Europe.

Located near the coast of the beautiful Red Sea, the city is the perfect starting point for a relaxing and fun day at the beach. This city is also the gateway to explore Medina, one of Islam's two holiest cities - a key destination when traveling to Saudi Arabia and the Red Sea.
