| The Beacon: accidental namesake of this blog |
The Kaust Beacon is intended to be the emblem of the university. It looks nice, isn't finished, and it's nocturnal lights function unpredictably. I'd say it captures the university pretty well.

| In case you've forgotten that this is Saudi Arabia... |
The Grand Mosque is the most stunning structure on campus. Walking through its outdoor courtyards of polished stone generates a feeling of wealth and history.
 |
| The Canal |
Between the canal, the harbor, and the Red Sea Steps, students could conceivably be riding jetskis to class. This needs to happen.
 |
| This is obviously a rec center, right Dad? |
The Harbor Sports club is easily the weirdest building on campus. It looks more like Mission Control and is only redeemed by the fact that it has the lone indoor basketball court on campus, which I'm sure is the praise every architect yearns for.
 |
| The Marina: the nicest building that no one visits |
Buildings on the peninsula, including the Marina, look nice. That's all I know about them. Hopefully this will change.
 |
| A bustling neighborhood |
Believe it or not, this neighborhood is inhabited. Kaust is actually short of housing. More on that in the near future. Housing is its own massive ball of wax.
