Bye Bye Tayara

As Jeddah art structures go, the Meedan Al Tayara (Plane roundabout) has never been one of my favorites. Still it will be sad to see it go. For the un-updated, the famous roundabout is being demolished. The plane has already been removed a couple of weeks ago (I wonder where) and the cloud structure is already a pile of rubble.

On the positive side; this is the first step of turning Prince Majid Rd into a signal-less expressway ala Madinah Rd. Something that will go a long way in improving Jeddah's rapidly worsening traffic.
