hi, new user. i'm coming to Jeddah for a 2 week stay this thursday. 3rd visit. last 2 times i didnt manage to get to the beach on my day off. what's the best beach to go to to relax and swim. probably be staying in a dodgy appartment in Al herra district. i speak a little Arabic so getting around not too much of a problem.:):):thumbsup:

I've only been to two beaches so far, one of them is exclusively for Arabian Homes compounds residents - so guess that rules that one out! Its a shame cos its quite nice really!

The other beach belongs to Al Bilad hotel - so known as As Bilad beach. I *think* from memory, entrance at weekends is around 70 SR. They have a snackbar type thing, good for snorkelling and diving too, with a dive shop there as well.
