View from the Top

This wide lovely boulevard named Prince Faisal bin Fahd Road runs parallel with the Corniche, the busy road which extends along the Red Sea coastline in Jeddah.  There are many luxury hotels in this area of the city, many offering lovely views of the Red Sea to the west and views of many of Jeddah's unique sculptures along this boulevard to the east.  This photo was taken from the rooftop of a building which houses several restaurants, including Amara Cafe (a favorite of mine for breakfast), Ajji (a fine dining Asian restaurant), and The Connoisseur (a gourmet bakery and catering provider).

Jeddah Sculpture: The Sword

The sculpture is known as "The Sword."  I'm sorry I don't have any information about the artist.  The sword plays a significant part in the religion of Islam.
