Hyperbolically known as the Paris of Arabia, Jeddah is
one of the few cities in the region to have built around,
rather than over, its history. Although it's definitely a
modern metropolis, Jeddah (which is mid-way down the
country's Red Sea |
 |
|
| |
coast) is also the most interesting and friendly
of Saudi Arabia's big cities. Jeddah is centered on Al-Balad, the
strip of buildings along its coast road and the old city
directly behind them. Jeddah has some great museums, including
the Municipality Museum. Located in a 200-year-old restored
traditional house built from Red Sea coral, the museum has
interesting photos of the development of Jeddah, along with
rooms done up in traditional style. The Museum of Abdel Raouf
Hasan Khalil houses 10,000 items crammed into 4 mock-Arab,
Disney-style buildings. The museum is a spectacularly badly
organized mish-mash of kitsch exhibits, but there are a few real
gems among the flotsam. The Jeddah Museum, the regional museum
of archaeology and ethnography, covers the same turf as the
Riyadh Museum.
Jeddah has one of the best Souks (markets) in the kingdom, the
spectacular Souk Al-Alawi, which winds its way through the old
city. Although some sections of it have been paved over, and
others fitted with bizarre green and white columns, it's still a
great place to spend hours strolling and browsing. Jeddah's 3
reconstructed old city gates are also worth a look, as are the
several good examples of traditional Jeddah architecture found
around the North City Gate.
