Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.
Walking
From any point in Al Shatea, head towards the coast. Follow the main road (Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz Street) until you reach the intersection with Al Corniche Road. Turn right onto Al Corniche Road and continue walking towards the waterfront. You will find signs directing you towards Random Island as you approach the coastline. The walk should take around 15-20 minutes depending on your starting location.
Bicycle
If you prefer cycling, you can rent a bicycle from one of the local shops in Al Shatea. Once you have a bicycle, follow the same route as for walking: head towards Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz Street, turn right onto Al Corniche Road, and cycle along the waterfront. This should take approximately 10-15 minutes. Make sure to wear a helmet and stay on designated bike lanes for safety.
Public Transportation
You can take a local bus that services the Al Shatea area. Look for buses heading towards the Corniche or beachfront areas. Ask the bus driver to let you off at the closest stop to Al Corniche Road. From the bus stop, it is a short 5-minute walk to Random Island. The bus fare is typically around 5-10 SAR.
Ride-Hailing Service
For a more convenient option, consider using a ride-hailing app such as Uber or Careem. Simply enter 'Random Island' or the address 'J474+QM8, Ash Shati, Jeddah 23510' into the app and request a ride. The fare should range between 15-25 SAR, depending on your exact pickup location. The driver will drop you off as close to the island as possible, and from there, it will only be a short walk to your destination.
Use Random Island as your starting point for nearby food, family ideas, nightlife, and more local discoveries.
