Kandil

I had seen these wonderful lamps several times on different days, but the drivers could never find a place to park. On our last day in Jeddah I asked specifically to go here and to be able to get out and take pictures. That driver found a place to pull off the roundabout, and so I was able to take pictures to my heart's content. I understand that these, too, are lit up at night, but since we had no car in the evenings and can't take public transportation, we unfortunately didn't seem them illuminated.

They must be spectacular when they're lit up. I hope you will be able to find a way to get pictures of them at night.
