This is a major attraction for anyone wants to see Historic building in Jeddah. The urban space at the front of the house a nice gathering place surrounded with local shops. You will get nice photos here at the front of the building unlike some other old houses which lies inside the narrow alleys.

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.

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

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.
