Jeddah's top sight is al-Balad, or the old town. The city wall has long since been torn down, but
the old gates still mark where it once stood. Within you'll find a warren of ancient buildings andtraditional souqs (markets), and the teetering, multistory coral houses that Jeddah is famous for.
Unfortunately, coral is not a very durable building material, and most of the buildings are in
disrepair. Spend time wandering around the old city and get lost in the seemingly endless souks.
You will find yourself in another world and entirely 'in' the world, surrounded by people form allover the arab world, Asia and Africa.
Souq al-Alawi. At the heart of the old city, coral houses line both sides of this busymarket street. A photography permit is theoretically necessary (inquire at the office
behind Naseef house), but in practice nobody seems to bat an eyelid as long as you don'tstick your camera in people's faces without permission. (21.5434857,39.1729892)
Naseef House. 5-9 PM (closed Fri?). The former house of one of Jeddah's main trading
families is now being renovated as a museum of sorts. Great views from the top floors
when it's open. SR20. Other
The Jeddah Corniche offers spectacular views of the Red Sea. Check out the main shopping
street on Tahliya for interesting wares, and if you're looking for good quality gold, try the GoldSouq where you can bargain for 18k and 24k gold by weight. The King Fahd Fountain is not
only the biggest fountain in Jeddah, but also the world!
