Obhor Bay has long been part of Jeddah’s relationship with the Red Sea. Before it became known for marinas and waterfront dining.

There are places that impress instantly, and then there are places that slowly settle into your senses — Obhor Bay belongs to the second kind. With its calm waters, salt-kissed breeze, and unhurried rhythm, this coastal stretch feels less like a destination and more like a pause button on life.

There is no single construction year tied to Obhor Bay — its identity is shaped by nature and gradual urban development. Architecturally, the surrounding area reflects contemporary coastal design: private marinas, seaside villas, promenades, and low-rise developments that respect open sea views rather than dominate them.
