Yanbu al-Nakhl is more than two thousand years old. It is one of the most important historical places in the western part of Saudi Arabia. The old city carries many tales and historical facts. One of the most interesting landmarks here is the Maddous Castle.

It's time for lunch now. Let's visit this famous, cosy restaurant in the heart of Yanbu Al-Nakhal. Try well-cooked red rice with chicken. The Bukhari rice is excellent too, or try anything on the restaurant's varied menu. Don't forget to book a table by calling +966 53 434 6896.

It's a surprise for everyone to see water in Saudi Arabia! Locals call this one of the best places in Yanbu Al-Nakhal. You'll soon understand why and totally agree with them. Yanbu Al-Nakhal is said to have had over a hundred springs and dense date farms. There are springs here, orchards, and clear and pure water sources. Immerse yourself in the richness of nature, try the water, walk through the place, and feel the fresh vibes. Don't forget to take photos of the view of palms!

It's time to enjoy a pool of spring water. It's the most beautiful natural spring in Yanbu. The pool is full of clear and natural water. You'll be totally relaxed here, surrounded by greenery. Take a towel and swimwear with you.

A place worth visiting for hiking and walking across water springs. It's a great valley with amazing views. Even if you go at a time where there's no water in the springs, you'll like the road and nature here. The road to the valley is located in a remote area, so it's better to take a four-wheel drive car, or you'll need to hike for approx 30 mins up the jeep track to get to the actual location. Please note that there are no phone signals in the area of the springs, so you should use an offline map to reach the place.

On the way to Yanbu, you will travel down this road with an amazing view of the mountain. It's a nice place to see the sunset and take some beautiful pictures. Relax and walk a little here before coming back to the city.

A delicious dinner awaits you at the Al Mersah Seafood Restaurant. Continue to taste local seafood. We highly recommend you try the fish bar: the portions are really big and the seafood is fresh and well cooked. The historic interior adds a special atmosphere. The restaurant offers separate rooms for families.

Go back to the hotel and get lots of rest in preparation for the next three days of your trip!
