Saudi Arabia is bordered by Jordan and Iraq to the north, Kuwait to the northeast, Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates to the east, Oman to the southeast and Yemen to the south. It is separated from Israel and Egypt by the Gulf of Aqaba. It is the only nation with both a Red Sea coast and a Persian Gulf coast and most of its terrain consists of arid desert and mountains.

4.5 based on 1,225 reviews
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.

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.

I have visited this mall on many occasions. Firstly their is LOTS of free parking available spread out over the 5 gates. The mall itself is very clean and you have no shortage of shops to visit. The food court is also very good with at least 15-20 different outlets/restaurants to choose from. Also has some very nice dessert places which is always a bonus!
5. Fakieh Aquarium

We like to avoid crowds so we commenced our visit at 1pm. Parking at the Aquarium's garage is readily available at that time (attached to the Southside of the Aquarium) and there are no lines to purchase tickets or to enter the main building. The aquariums in the building are beautiful and modern. Our children enjoyed the tour - we traveled at their pace (the visit finished in 1 hour). There is a quirky toy store / candy shop 2/3rds through the tour which received 5 stars from the children (the candy swayed the vote). Fakieh Aquarium is clean and the path through the museum intuitive. The Aquarium is well managed. We have visited several times and gladly will do so again. The Blue Ocean Restaurant at the Aquarium serves fresh seafood. At the end of a visit to the Aquarium, the restaurant is good place to rest your feet. The meals and service are top notch - as good as any restaurant we visited during our week long tour of this Region of Saudi Arabia.
