Saudi Arabia's commercial capital on the Red Sea coast — gateway to Mecca (the city receives most Hajj and Umrah pilgrims) and the country's most cosmopolitan major city. Al-Balad (the UNESCO World Heritage old town with traditional coral-stone architecture) and the Corniche seafront are the walkable cores; Al Hamra is the upscale residential anchor. Saudi Arabia's e-Visa (1-year multi-entry, 90 days per stay) is generous since 2019 reforms. The structural draws are Red Sea diving access, the country's most liberal social environment (relative to Riyadh), and the increasingly-open Vision-2030 tourism economy. Summer heat and humidity are brutal.
