Makkah Govenor Prince Khaled Al Faisal has signed a contract for the project that aims to give a facelift to the entrance to Jeddah city from the new King Abdul Aziz Airport.

This project will enhance the appearance of the intersection of Al Nuzha Road with Madinah Road with a park, which the prince named as “The Smiles of Jeddah Park.” Work will be completed within 12 months, said an Arab News report.

During the signing ceremony, which took place in the governorate headquarters in Jeddah, Prince Khaled said “The Smiles of Jeddah Park” will be a wonderful welcome from Jeddah to its visitors.

The project covers an area of 600,000 sq m and will include building of five pillars representing the pillars of Islam; two large structures which highlight the word Jeddah, both in English and Arabic; planting of 75 palm trees; and covering over 176,000 sq m with natural and artificial grass supplied with a modern irrigation network.
