The Globe Roundabout, Jeddah

About The Globe Roundabout

Located at the intersection of King Abdul Aziz Road and Assalam Street is another one of the top Tourist Places in Jeddah, called The Globe Roundabout. Surrounded by the flags of Saudi Arabia, this giant metal globe sits right in the middle of the intersection.

Designed by Spanish architect Julio Lafente, the black and silver globe gets lit up with blue and green coloured lights every night, offering a view that is nothing short of extraordinary. In addition to taking a relaxing stroll along the globe, you can also try to find your home country on the map of the world that is unravelled here once the metal globe is lit up.
