Saudi Arabia

Sumou began in Al Khobar, and the Kingdom remains its home. On the Jeddah Corniche, twin towers rise above the Red Sea. Along the Gulf coast, homes and hotels open onto the water, while new districts take shape at the gates of Makkah and within reach of the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah. In the capital and in the highlands of Asir the work continues, each destination shaped by the life of its city.
