Wadi Rabigh

Wadi Rabigh
One of the locations closest to Jeddah that is well worth a trip is Wadi Rabigh, on the route north to Yanbu. 

Directions (from Jeddah)

  • Drive northwards along the expressway, heading towards Yanbu. Take the turn off to the left along the coast, while the expressway continues on to Medina. You'll pass the power station of your left, shortly after this is a turn off to your right. Take this, and follow the track over the Irish Bridge. Immediate after this, turn right again, you are now approaching Wadi Rabigh from the north.

Tips

  • A nice all day Friday trip, with lunch by the stream. 

  • Make sure your vehicle is up to it if you're intending to do the river / stream crossings; from our (Dan's) experience his Discover had the battery positioned in the perfect place to get wet!
