Jabal al-Nour

In the Muslim religion, Muhammad received his first revelation from God on this mountain.

Reviewed By Fatima_Alsawad94 - Salalah, Oman

A nice walk with my husband and child, great views all the way up, encountering many stalls and gift shops from start to finish and, once you reach the top of Jabal Noor you see the cave of Hira - limited in size and space with a nice view of Mecca and the sight of the new clock tower - once able to see the Kaaba from there but now with the new construction and buildings not possible, its nice view to visit night time before fajr.

Safa to Marwa

Reviewed By moinulbb - Dhaka City, Bangladesh

Located a few meters away from the Holy Kaaba these are the two small hills named Safa and Marwa and all are within the Masjid Al Haram. The distance between the two hills is approximately 450 meter within which Muslim pilgrims perform Sai during Hajj and Umrah. There are multiple floors to perform Sai and the total area is fully air conditioned. There is a dedicated floor for those who are using wheel chairs. One have to run seven times in between starting from Safa which takes approximately one hour.

Al-Balad

Reminiscent of the Arabian nights fairytales, this vibrant marketplace with multi-storied mud brick and stone buildings sells everything from textiles and sparkling silver and gold ornaments to spices and honey.

Reviewed By musmankhan46

Walking in the balad area will take you back to the traditional arab times and while walking in the street you can feel it. Old building, markets and all the modern outlets are there. Also a good place for shopping. In the evening the place is full of people and tourists.

King Fahd's Fountain

This 853-foot fountain is reputed to be the tallest fountain in the world, and is best appreciated when illuminated at night.

Reviewed By jojiec141 - Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

The fountain was donated to the city of Jeddah by King Fahd, hence its name. It was constructed between 1980 and 1983 and was launched in 1985.[2] Located on the west coast of Saudi Arabia, the fountain jets water to a maximum height, according to different sources, of either 260 metres (853 ft)[3][4][5]or 312 m (1,024 ft)[1] above the Red Sea. Whichever figure is considered the actual height for the fountain, it is the world's tallest. The second-tallest is the World Cup Fountain in Seoul, South Korea, with a water height of 202 m (663 ft). The fountain is visible throughout the vicinity of Jeddah. The water ejected can reach a speed of 375 km/h (233 mph) and its airborne mass can exceed 16 tonnes (18 short tons).[1] The fountain uses saltwater taken from the Red Sea instead of freshwater. Over 500 spotlights illuminate the fountain at night.

Al Rudaf Park

Reviewed By AFAK25 - Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

We came in the evening after Maghrib. Just in time for the musical fountain to start playing. The show was only for 15 minutes. Just don't expect Dubai Mall type of display and you will not be disappointed. The whole place is huge that it takes about an hour to walk around the trek. There is a light garden which has variety of objects lit in various colours. They are only switched on in the evenings and they are very beautiful. There's an open space just outside of the park where visitors can hire ponies, horses or even camels for rides.
