Feel mesmerised while looking at the goliath globe at Globe Roundabout, a titanic glass-and-steel landmark in Jeddah. One of the Places to visit in Makkah, the Globe Roundabout, Outlined by Spanish draftsman Julio Lafuente, looms over its surrounding traffic circle near the beach.
It is a part of the innumerable landmark roundabouts and squares which are scattered all over the city, with a considerable number of them highlighting the work by the same artist. Watch the giant globe rotate and illuminate during the evening radiant in the turquoise light against the inky blue sky.
• Plan a short drive to witness the most conspicuous globe at the traffic circle.
• Get extreme excitement watching the paint dry and feel a sense of rock and roll while wandering around the roundabout.
• The place in Jeddah is worth a drive at night as the earth globe enlightens supremely in the middle of a roundabout of a busy road.
