Covering an area of 1,016 km², Jubail Industrial City was chosen for its strategic location on the Arabian Gulf and its proximity to energy sources and essential raw materials—factors that have provided all the elements of an ideal investment climate. Situated on the eastern coast of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, about 100 kilometers north of Dammam, the city enjoys close access to Gulf and international shipping lanes, as well as to the energy and raw materials used in petrochemical and refining industries. This grants operating companies direct access to global markets, an abundance of raw materials, advanced infrastructure, and competitively priced services. 

Jubail Industrial City is a Saudi model that embodies the story of planning coupled with determination, becoming today a reality recognized at the local, regional, and international levels. The primary reason behind the success of Jubail Industrial City, along with its sister city Yanbu Industrial City on the Red Sea, is the direct oversight of the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu in operating, developing, and preparing the basic infrastructure of both cities. This is achieved through the principle of integrated management, under which the Royal Commission administers all services and facilities. 

The city’s advanced infrastructure has served as the foundation enabling all industrial, commercial, and social sectors to establish themselves within an interconnected framework, while meeting housing needs to modern and advanced standards that include all the elements of practical life, as well as recreational and tourism facilities. This is one of the key attributes any city must have to aspire toward a bright future. 

The Royal Commission continues its efforts to increase and enhance the capacity of this infrastructure, opening the way for private sector participation in the development and growth of both cities into the 21st century. 

Jubail Industrial City has also attracted national talents, leading to the formation of a distinctive community drawn from all over the Kingdom—affirming that this city is the product of the combined efforts of the entire nation. 

The Royal Commission has been committed to enhancing the quality of life in the city by providing integrated service facilities that meet residents’ needs, such as health centers, hospitals, commercial complexes, recreational amenities, educational institutions, and more. Residential districts have been designed with a unique architectural style that blends Islamic values and Saudi traditions with modern living standards, according to a plan that ensures efficiency and integration in construction and development.
