Aerial View of Jeddah Port Stars in NASA Earth Observatory’s Image of the Day

The NASA Earth Observatory made its image of the day a stunning aerial photo of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia’s port from directly above.

The second largest city in the Kingdom has a sprawling port complex in the middle of a major shipping route.

“The large circles visible near the bottom of the image are oil storage tanks, Earth.com writes in a description of the picture, noting that Saudi Arabia is the world’s biggest oil exporter.

“Coral reefs are visible off the coast of Jeddah, and a gap in the reef serves as a pathway for large vessels to move in and out of the port.”
