Al Jubail is a city centred around the old fishing and pearling village of Jubail Balad.
However, the construction of the world’s largest industrial city and civil engineering project, Jubail Industrial City, has transformed the old town into what it is now: a massive city of industry connected to the rest of the country and the world through two seaports (the northern King Fahd Industrial Sea Port and the southern Jubail Commercial Sea Port) and two arterial highways (Dhahran-Jubail Highway to the east and Abu Hadriah Highway to the west).
Still expanding, the city already significantly contributes to Saudi Arabia’s gross domestic product or GDP.
The beach is one of the top destinations in Al Jubail. You may want to book a hotel near the coast for its cooling sea breeze and magnificent water views. In Jubail, 5-star hotels typically offer panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf.
For beautiful sunrises and Arabian Gulf views, you can stroll along the Jubail Corniche. If you want to picnic on the beach and enjoy a spot of swimming, scuba diving and water activities, you can go to one of the many pristine beaches in Al Jubail, including Fanateer Beach, Al Nakheel Beach, and Dareen Beach.
Another good destination for families is Deffi Park, with its barbecue stations, running tracks and play areas.
Most of the hotels in Jubail City are in the southeast near the beach, like the top-rated Hilton Garden Inn Al Jubail and the Coral Jubail Hotel. However, there are Jubail Resorts deeper inland, like the Al Reem Village Hotel. Aside from luxury hotels in Jubail, cheap hotels are also available for budget-conscious travellers.
