The first one is King Fahd´s Fountain, also known as Jeddah Fountain. This is the biggest salt water fountain of the world; it jets the water about 312 meters above the Red Sea. The fountain has been given as a present by King Fahd to the city Jeddah. The best time to visit the fountain is at dawn or during nighttime. From Jeddah´s Corniche you will enjoy wonderful views as the fountain is lighted with 500 spotlights and it dominates Jeddah´s skyline, so you can not miss it.

The next spot to visit near Jeddah´s Corniche is the Floating Mosque. This is one of the most loved and visited sites in Jeddah. The mosque is called the floating mosque because it´s placed right on the Red Sea, and when the tide is high it is surrounded by water. It gives the impression that the mosque is floating if you look at it from the Corniche. The inside of the mosque is beautiful as well, there is a huge prayer space with an amazing rooftop. This stunning white mosque that emerges from the sea is certainly worth visiting, and therefore in our top 3. 

The third place to see is the Makkah Gate, this is one of the oldest ones in Saudi Arabia. The gate serves as one of the main entrances for Hajj pilgrims. During this period it will be a busy place as many people from all over the world come to see it. Out of all Jeddah´s sights the Makkah Gate is the most prominent one. 

We hope our top 3 places to visit in Jeddah will help make your weekend or vacation a great success. And don’t forget there are many more sights spread all over the city. Ask our concierge if you want to know more, and they will be happy to assist you...
