Jeddah is a city of sculptures. |
It has over 400 sculptures and other exhibits as centrepieces on the roundabouts, median strips and along the corniche. |
| hanging lamps roundabout - near King Fahd's Palace |
These lamps light up at night. |
Some of these are quite spectacular - a giant penny farthing bicycle, a flotilla of full size ex-navy gunboats complete with fighter escort, a decommissioned DC 10 airliner, cars embedded in a vast concrete block and sculptures created from the old desalination plant. |
Their diversity is extraordinary, from the solid curves of Henry Moore to the poetic beauty of Mustafa Sunbal's seagulls in flight. |
They are a good talking point, nonetheless, and in Jeddah everyone has his favourite sculpture. |
An area of the Corniche boasts genuine Henry Moore works of art. |

Great tips. Have only been to the airport during Haj a long time ago. Birthday greetings from Alaska! | JessH Tue Feb 6, 2007 05:43 UTC
Hello dear "neighbour" :-) Lovely tips here and very good insightful information. I enjoyed your page & my ratings are with you. Greetings from Dubai / Jess | freddie18 Mon Oct 9, 2006 13:27 UTC
Hi Bec. Your Jiddah page is amazing and begin to miss the place while reviewing your tips. My stay there was too short and didn't see much. Will be back to your site to see more on the Middle East. Regards from Freddie of Toronto | uglyscot Wed Apr 5, 2006 07:29 UTC
Very useful tips. I wasn't there long enough to see much. Indeed the roundabouts are strange. It seems to be a feature of most Arab cities, but none so strange as in Jiddah. |
