There’s also a walkway, pedestrian bridge, 17 plazas, sculptures, fountains, a water park and around 20 toilets\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Just in case you thought the new Jeddah Waterfront was going to be a basic park, it will also include almost 100 surveillance cameras and an Internet service. Talk about quality.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The entire thing will be completed in six phases. Right now, the first three have already been done and is open to public…<\/h3>\n

The fourth and fifth phases have also been completed, according to reports. However, it is still not open to the public yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The final phase’s construction will initiate sometime in the future and it will be located from Jubair Bin Al- Harith Street all the way to Al- Rahma Mosque.<\/p>\n
