Landmarks

Hey fellow adventurers! Today we’re talking about popular landmarks in Saudi Arabia. If I leave out a landmark that you like, please let me know in the comment section below!

Al-Masjid an-Nabawi

Established and built by the Islamic prophet Muhammad, Al-Masjid an-Nabawi is the second-holiest site in Islam. It is one of the largest mosques in the world, and is always open no matter the date or time. It was later expanded to include the resting place of the Muhammad and the first two Rashidun caliphs (Abu Bakr and Umar).

Great Mosque of Mecca

Masjid al Haram

The Great Mosque of Mecca, or the Grand Mosque, is the largest mosque in the world and Islam’s most sacred. It surrounds Islam’s holiest place, Kaaba, and Muslims must come here to perform the Hajj (will cover in greater detail later).

Kaaba

The Kaaba is a building in the center of the Grand Mosque, considered to be the bayt Allāh or the “House of God”. It is the holiest site in Islam. No matter where they are in the world, Muslims are expected to face the qibla (direction facing the Kaaba) while they perform salat (prayer).

Quba Mosque

Dating back to the lifetime of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, the Quba Mosque is one of the oldest in the world. Muhammad used to go there every Saturday to pray.

King Fahd’s Fountain

King Fahd donated the fountain to Jeddah and was launched in 1985. Over 500 spotlights illuminate the fountain at night which can shoot up to 853 feet (260 meters) above the Red Sea. Unlike most fountains, the King’s Fountain uses saltwater from the Red Sea.

Kingdom Tower

The Kingdom Tower, a skyscraper currently in construction, is planned to be completed in 2020. If completed, it will be the tallest tower in the world at a little over 3,280 feet (1 kilometer) tall.
