The Jeddah Lighthouse, which is 431 feet tall, is recognized as the tallest lighthouse in the world by the Guinness Book of World Records. It is situated on the northern side of the Jeddah Islamic Seaport. The 133-meter-tall active lighthouse is believed to have outperformed all other active lighthouses, traditional and non-traditional, in terms of structural height.

While providing them with the job of monitoring the system, the Jeddah Traffic Department worked on re-installing the digital timers on the traffic lights of the major junctions around the city. Two thousand six hundred forty kilometers (1,640 mi) is the total length of Saudi Arabia's coastline, which comprises two coasts: the longer western coast on the Red Sea and the shorter eastern coast on the Persian Gulf.
