Jeddah, 28 Muharram 1448 AH, July 13, 2026 AD, SPA – The agricultural areas north of Jeddah are witnessing a remarkable transformation in their economic and tourism identity, as many owners of traditional farms have started converting their green spaces into tourist resorts and attractive rural inns. This shift aligns with the goals of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 to diversify income sources and support domestic tourism, and meets the growing demand from residents and visitors of the Bride of the Red Sea for natural and quiet destinations away from the city’s hustle. For decades, north Jeddah was known for its farms supplying the local market with vegetables, fruits, and dates. Today, investors are redrawing the map of these lands by integrating agricultural activity with entertainment. The farm is no longer just a place for production; it has turned into integrated resorts with rural villas, private pools, green sitting areas, and children’s play zones, while preserving the agricultural identity by keeping palm and citrus trees that give visitors an experience of living in nature. This transformation is not limited to the recreational aspect; it extends to providing new job opportunities for Saudi youth in hospitality, event management, and rural tourism guidance. It also contributes to raising environmental awareness, preserving plant cover in north Jeddah, and converting neglected spaces into green lungs that serve the environmental health of the area. As this promising sector continues to grow, north Jeddah’s farms prove that investment in nature is the future choice, turning from mere production fields into leading tourist destinations that compete with traditional beach resorts, writing a new chapter in sustainable tourism in the Kingdom. // End // 21:30 T M 0179
