The other evening, I grabbed my camera and went for a stroll along Jeddah's Middle Corniche - the result was the pictures below.
But first, some background info...
The Middle Corniche is the 3.6 km stretch of the larger
Jeddah Corniche, a 30 km-long coastal resort area along the Red Sea. The Corniche, which is French/Italian for a coastal road, includes recreation areas, pavilions, sculptures,
and the tallest fountain in the world - King Fahd's Fountain.
The
Middle Corniche is currently being renovated to include new open spaces, landscaping, restaurants, and retail, recreation, and pedestrian facilities. By combining those with well-managed traffic and parking, including a public transportation hub, the city hopes to develop the Middle Corniche into a world-class destination.
Okay, now time for pictures.
