King Abdulaziz Sabeels (Public Water Fountains): Saudi Arabia's heritage is rich with prominent testaments to the generosity of its leaders and their dedication to serving pilgrims and visitors. Among the most notable are the "Sabeels" (public water fountains) established by King Abdulaziz Al Saud - may Allah rest his soul - on the road linking Makkah and Jeddah. At a time when pilgrims suffered from water scarcity during their travel, King Abdulaziz directed the construction of several Sabeels to serve as rest stations where visitors could hydrate on their way to the Holy Mosque.
1- The implementation of these Sabeels began in 1331 AH / 1942 CE. They were built according to approved designs at the time to provide permanent water sources for pilgrims and travelers on the Makkah-Jeddah road.
2- The Sabeels supply water along the route. They were designed in a way that naturally maintains the water's relative coolness, fulfilling the users' needs and providing comfort during their journey.
