Guide
Yanbu'
al Bahr, which in English means "spring by the sea", also known simply
as Yanbu, Yambo or Yenbo, is a major Red Sea port in the Al Madinah province
of western Saudi Arabia.
Yanbu
(Yanbo) Featured Hotels
 It
is approximately 350 kilometers north of Jeddah. A large number of
the residents are foreign expatriates, mostly from Asia, but there are
also large numbers from the Middle East and Europe.
Yanbu's history dates back
at least 2500 years, when it was a staging point on the spice and incense
route from Yemen to Egypt and the Mediterranean region. Yanbu served as
a supply and operational base for Arab and British forces fighting the
Ottoman Empire during the World War I. It remained a small port town until
1975, when the Saudi government designated it as one of the country's two
new industrial centres (the other being Al Jubayl on the Persian Gulf).
The city is divided into
three villages, about 15 minutes drive by car away from each other. The
Downtown (often called Al-Balad) is the actual city and has most of the
population with all the shopping centers. Yanbu Al-Nakheel (The Palms)
is the older part of the city where mostly farms would be found. Yanbu
Al-Sina'iya (literally "the industrial Yanbu"), is the industrial city,
established around 1975 with a very modern housing architecture. It houses
all the major refineries and petrochemical installations and is still experiencing
major growth.
