Then enjoy Jeddah Open Museum which is one of the largest collections of models, set in a very picturesque area on the new corniche and full of picnic options. Also, you will see ‘floating mosque’ which appears to drift on the water’s surface shimmering in the sun light. Pause to take in the spectacular views over the Red Sea.
Next, discover King Fahd’s Fountain, also known as Jeddah Fountain, which is the tallest of its type in the world, shooting saltwater from the Red Sea 300 metres up into the air, at speeds over 300 kilometres per hour
Then you will be led to Jeddah’s traditional architecture in Al-Balad (Old Town) to visit some of the old houses, constructed from coral and reinforced with wooden beams, including Nasif House, one of the most beautiful which was built in the 1850’s by the Nasif Family, one of the most influential trading families in the history of Jeddah.
