Our World: Jeddah's Fruit Boat Sculpture

Two of Jeddah's most whimsical sculptures would be called the Fruit Boat. And yes! There are actually two of this same sculpture in two different locations in Jeddah.

Each sculpture features a blue and white boat filled with enormous fruit, like pears, apples, watermelon, and bananas.  I believe the art is mostly made of metal compounds.

It's definitely something one might not expect to see in such a seemingly stuffy religious setting, but there are surprisingly many whimsical sculptures in this city.

There are even additional fruit strewn about the base of the boat which is a blue tiled ocean of waves where these cute models posed one Friday morning and give perspective of the size of the sculpture.
