#Holiday Inn Yanbu Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Saudi | A first experience at the five-star Holiday Inn Yanbu
🚗 Holiday Inn Yanbu
🚗 Yanbu al Bahr in Saudi Arabia, meaning 'spring by the sea', is the second largest quaint port city on the Red Sea after Jeddah. It is located in the Medina province of western Saudi Arabia, with a population of about 240,000. It is 300 kilometers north of Jeddah, close to Syria and Jordan, and has a very hot desert climate all year round.
🚗 The hotel has its own unique features, especially the swimming pool in the middle. Behind it, there is a Moonlight Garden, which is the garden I saw from where I stayed. The surrounding area is all yellow land, and only this place is lush green, a bit like a paradise in the desert. Other than feeling a bit expensive (1500y+ per day), and the hardware facilities being slightly outdated, everything else is fine.
🚗 In this courtyard, besides swimming, you can also order food, eat, and drink coffee at the seats next to it (the taste of the food feels very average, but the service is okay). The scenery during the day is still nice, and it's great to order a coffee and bask in the sun.

Saudi Arabia | Yanbu Seafood Market, where you can buy and process right next to it
🚗 Yanbu al Bahr in Saudi Arabia, meaning 'spring by the sea', is the second largest quaint port city on the Red Sea after Jeddah, located in the western Medina province of Saudi Arabia, with a population of about 240,000. It is 300 kilometers north of Jeddah, close to Syria and Jordan, and has a very hot desert climate all year round.
🚗 Yanbu is a relatively famous coastal city in Saudi Arabia. Because it is by the Red Sea, it is also a place that produces seafood. Today I specifically went to their seafood market and felt that the choices were not particularly many, and they were not particularly fresh. But the environment is not bad, it is relatively clean compared to domestic seafood markets. Maybe because it was in the afternoon, I think there would be more choices and fresher in the morning.
🚗 If you can't cook, it's okay, there is a restaurant next to it that can specifically help you process seafood. When I went there, I felt that there were quite a lot of people. However, it should be noted that most people here do not speak English, so it is best to come with local friends.
