Jeddah:Visitors attending the 27th edition of the Gulf Cup, known as Khaleeji 27, have been drawn to the Jeddah Corniche and the ROSHN Waterfront, where they can unwind between matches while enjoying the scenic Red Sea waterfront and exploring Jeddah's landmarks.
According to Saudi Press Agency, the ROSHN Waterfront has been a popular destination for Gulf visitors, offering amenities such as a seaside promenade, open seating, and paths for walking, jogging, and cycling. Families and individuals can relax on sandy beaches and in green spaces throughout the day.
Spanning over 4.5 kilometers along the Red Sea coast, the waterfront is renowned as one of Jeddah's prime tourist and leisure spots. It boasts seven entertainment zones, children's areas, and facilities for various sports and recreational activities, accommodating more than 120,000 people at once.
Adding to its appeal, the ROSHN Waterfront holds a Guinness World Records title for the longest pavement painting. This 16,000 square meter artwork was a collaborative effort by Saudi artists and volunteers, facilitated by ROSHN Group, the Volunteering and Community Partnership Program 'Lenobadir,' and the Social Responsibility Association in Jeddah.
Fans attending the tournament have praised the waterfront's modern atmosphere, along with its blend of entertainment, sports, and natural beauty. The direct views of the Red Sea and art installations along the promenade have become popular for photography and enjoying Jeddah's coastal charm.
