A working seafood market with dawn trading and Red Sea catch.
The Jeddah Fish Market is a working seafood market on Corniche Road in the Al Baghdadiyah Al Gharbiyah district of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, near Historic Jeddah. The frames are the early-morning auctions, the stacked Red Sea catch, vendors and the gulls. Dawn light and the busiest trading hours coincide, so arrive early. A 24-70 mm zoom and fast shutter speeds capture movement, and the floor is wet, so visitors wear closed shoes. Always ask before photographing vendors and buyers. Opening hours were not verified, so check locally. The market is a short drive from Al-Balad.
