The Jeddah Transport Company has announced an exclusive Eid Al-Fitr discount on sea taxi fares, according to Saudi Gazette.
Starting from March 23 to April 3, visitors can enjoy the taxi fare in exchange of SR25 on the route between the Jeddah Yacht Club and the Historic Jeddah District.
Interestingly, children under the age of 10 can ride free of charge.
During Ramadan, fares ranged between SR25 and SR50.
On March 6, the company launched the trial phase of the sea taxi service initially linking the Yacht Club, the Historic District, and Sharm Obhur.
Currently, the company operates fares between the Yacht Club and the Historic District.
As part of a wider initiative designed basically to enhance the transportation infrastructure, the service seeks to boost Jeddah’s maritime tourism.
Looking ahead, Jeddah Mayor Saleh Al-Turki announced that there are several plans to develop 20 modern sea taxi stations, with a total capacity of 29,000 passengers per day.
These stations aim to foster connectivity between Obhur’s waterfront and Jeddah’s central and northern districts.
