My one day experience on the Red Sea coast

 

Allah  has made the world very beautiful, and one of its greatest proofs is the vast seas, oceans, and large lakes lets know about new jeddah corniche . Seeing these immense creations, you can understand the magnificence of creation.

  1. I often find myself drawn to the shores of the Arabian Sea. Whether I’m feeling down or simply have some free time during a vacation, I come to Sagar Pari. If you haven’t been here, you can’t realize how much happiness you’re missing in life. The first time I visited the beach on a holiday, I was captivated by the sound of the crashing waves, the cool touch of the breeze, and the peaceful embrace of nature. I felt as though I wanted to live this way forever.

In the afternoon, you can watch the sun slowly dip into the western sky, disappearing into the vast waters of the ocean.

 The sea water turns a deep red, mirroring the sun, while distant ships sail toward unknown destinations. I believe anyone who witnesses these scenes will fall in love with the ocean. Visiting at night, too, is enchanting—the sound of the waves and the cool breeze create a mesmerizing experience.

 

There were three of us, and we spent the time from afternoon until 10 p.m. by the sea. Many tourists come in the afternoon, drawn by the love of nature. We captured these beautiful moments on camera.

 Truly, you can’t understand how breathtaking this place is until you see it for yourself.
