Manarat Al Khafji extends the corniche into a vibrant, multifaceted landmark, integrating commerce, culture, and community along Saudi Arabia’s eastern coastline. Inspired by traditional Khaleeji souks, a gently undulating 7m wide avenue winds its way across a quarter-kilometer span, shaded by crisscrossed arcades reminiscent of heritage arcades. This modernized corniche celebrates local heritage and the natural landscape, evolving vertically into a dynamic space for cultural exchange. ...

​

Manarat Al Khafji creates an “authentic and memorable” destination by capturing Al Khafji’s unique character and legacy while fostering a lively, welcoming community. By weaving architectural innovation with a human-centered, immersive atmosphere, our design celebrates the vibrancy of Khaleeji identity. More than just a landmark, it becomes a gathering place for residents and travelers alike, offering new moments of discovery, connection, and celebration with each visit, and serving as a vital part of Al Khafji’s evolving master plan. This design aims to create a world-class destination that preserves the essence of Al Khafji’s cultural roots, while embodying a forward-looking spirit aligned with the ambitions of Vision 2030.
