Known for its crystal-clear waters, the Saudi Red Sea maintains an average temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, creating ideal conditions for water lovers seeking both relaxation and adventure. Just ask Candice Swanepoel, who explored Jeddah’s waters in the special collaboration Vogue Arabia cover, which was released last night during our Sea of Dreams event. “I’ve had the privilege of shooting in oceans and seas across the world, but the warmth of the Saudi Red Sea made the entire diving and swimming experience uniquely enjoyable,” the supermodel and ocean advocate shared. “It’s a comfort that is rarely felt in any other element, and makes the Saudi Red Sea feel like a wonder. ”
With over 1,200 islands scattered across the region, the Saudi Red Sea offers endless opportunities for exploration and discovery. It also features 800 dive sites, offering access to colorful reefs that host more than 300 species of coral. These thriving ecosystems are home to over 1,200 species of fish, many unique to the region. The abundance of marine life, paired with magnificent coral gardens, has made the Saudi Red Sea a must-visit destination for those passionate about marine conservation and underwater exploration.
Held on September 26 at the Yacht Club de Monaco, the Sea of Dreams celebration aimed to share knowledge about this wonder with more avid travelers across the globe. The event honored the beauty of the Saudi Red Sea and its thriving marine ecosystems via the release of Swanepoel’s cover and video. “I’ve always felt most connected to water,” the model revealed. “The Saudi Red Sea is a marvel, an endless source of beauty I’ve been privileged to experience.”
As the world increasingly takes notice of the unmatched beauty of the Saudi Red Sea, it is emerging as a key destination for travelers interested in both luxury and natural beauty.
