Thuwal (Arabic: ثول ) is a village belonging to the governorate of Jeddah in the Makkah Province of Saudi Arabia 80 kilometers north of Jeddah on the coast of the Red Sea. Thuwal had long been a fishing center until the Royal Saudi Navy re-constructed the village.
The King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, which officially opened in September 2009, is located in Thuwal.[1]
The town is also experiencing an increase in business due to its proximity to the King Abdullah Economic City.
