Why visit?
Discover Jizan's maritime heritage and traditional architecture.
The Sea Fortress in historic Jizan dates to the Ottoman period and served military and administrative functions along the Red Sea coast. Overlooking the waterfront, it stands as a witness to Ottoman influence in southwestern Arabia and to Jizan's long role in regional maritime trade and coastal defense.
