Location & Climate

Jeddah's coastal location on the Red Sea offers a hot, humid climate with very high UV levels, peaking at 12, perfect for year-round tanning. The intense sun requires careful exposure management. The public beaches along the Corniche are popular, but aim for tanning in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the strongest midday rays.

Tanning Tips

UV levels in Jeddah are high year-round due to its tropical location. Always wear SPF 30+ and limit initial sessions to 15-20 minutes.
