Boats on the turquoise water at King Abdullah Economic City

KAEC

King Abdullah Economic City, an hour north of Jeddah: a marina town with lagoon-calm water and sandbanks a short cruise offshore. Pontoon days run from the marina with lunch grilled over the water, the canals take kayaks and paddleboards, and the fishing grounds sit twenty minutes out.

Why KAEC

A marina town built for slow days.

King Abdullah Economic City is an hour north of Jeddah and feels further: lagoon-calm water, sandbanks a short cruise offshore, and a marina that opens straight onto the Red Sea.

Everything we run here happens on the water. Pontoon days with lunch grilled over the side, sports fishing, snorkelling cruises and sunset escapes. Bring a hat and let the day drift.
