Heading to the Corniche this week?
It might be helpful to know that Jeddah Middle Corniche is temporarily closed for maintenance.
A popular waterfront destination in the Red Sea city, Middle Corniche closed on Sunday March 3, 2024. The temporary closure will span 10 days (until March 12, 2024), allowing time for essential repairs and improvements to the promenade.
Jeddah Middle Corniche temporary closure
Announced by Jeddah Municipality, the area between Al-Anani Mosque and Palestine Street will be unaccessible. Picnic areas and seating falling under this area will be temporarily out of access to the public.
The planned work on Jeddah Middle Corniche aims to enhance the overall visitor experience of the Middle Corniche and will involve revitalising the landscaping, repairing sidewalks, and sprucing up the fountains and lighting.
It’s important to remember that only the Middle Corniche is closed. The Lower Corniche and the Upper Corniche, which includes the Jeddah Yacht Club restaurants area, remain open to the public.
The closure will not affect the upcoming Formula 1 races.
Other ways to enjoy Jeddah
While the Middle Corniche undergoes its refresh, Jeddah offers a variety of alternative activities and attractions. Visitors can explore the heritage of Al Balad (and don’t forget to groove at Balad Social on weekends), unwind at the city’s many iconic malls, and enjoy a variety of seaside cafés and restaurants with terrace views.
