You’ve Got To See To Believe This Photo From Space Of Saudi Arabia’s Caribbean-Like Islands
This photo from space of a group of islands looks like it’s from somewhere in the Caribbean – except that it’s not. It’s actually a group of islands that sit just a few miles to the west of the Saudi Arabian coast.
This photo was tweeted by NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough who accompanied it with a caption that reads “You might think these stunning islands are in the Bahamas, but I found them off the west coast of Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea”.

And, this is Jeddah as seen from space. The new airport looks sleek.
Hello Jeddah, Saudi Arabia! This modern city on the Red Sea serves as a gateway for pilgrimages to the Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Medina. #airportsfromspace pic.twitter.com/nATLz4UlQc
