Yanbu, the Land of Water and Palm Trees
Since ancient times, Yanbu has been known for its abundance of water and palm trees. There are up to 370 water springs. Yanbu is divided into three sections: Yanbu ِAl-Bahr, Yanbu Al-Nakhal, Yanbu Al-Sina'iya. One of the most important landmarks in Yanbu is the house of Thomas Edward Lawrence, the inspiration for the movie "Lawrence of Arabia". The house has now been turned into a museum that tells the story of this mysterious British officer. Among the most important tourist attractions in Yanbu are the waterfront, Al-Mahar Island, the North Beach Corniche, Marsa Al-Ahlam, the Night Market and Al-Sour neighborhood.

Historic Stems
Yanbu is distinguished by a 2,500-year-old heritage, which is evident in this historical area or Al-Sour district, where the traditional houses, mashrabiyas and buildings made of excavated sea stone are located. These buildings are famous for its roofs that are made of palm trunks in a clear representation of its long history. The area has now been transformed into a wonderful tourist attraction.

Night Market
The market is dated back to hundreds of years. It was a major destination for merchants and sailors coming from Africa to the old port of Yanbu to conduct business deals and exchange goods. It was called the Night Market because the fishermen used to visit it at night before starting their sea voyages. The Market witnessed strenuous efforts to rehabilitate the Al-Sour District. Now, it has regained its splendor and its traditional identity. In the Market, you can find a great variety of traditional goods that you can buy as souvenirs for your loved ones and relatives.
