Wow. I am still in awe while writing this review. Too much picture perfect location. Though we were not able to fully go over the enter site, I can say that it was a very unforgettable experience to walk through those alleys and trying to imagine the life in there before and now. We will definitely go back again there soon, probably at night too to experience both day and scene.

One of the best historical place you can visit with your friends and family.

Historic district is one of the perfect tourist destination in Jeddah. It is an UNESCO world heritage site. The place gives a perfect vibe and culture of authentic Saudi life of past. Its a most visiting destination in Jeddah.

The historic district meanders through many streets and as far as we could tell, runs SW to NE. We went at night and it was alive. The wonderful thing about being a tourist in Jeddah is that you are kind of invisible. These trading streets are ‘normal’ and there is no need to tout or haste visitors. We loved it and all the locals are so friendly and welcoming.

It's a very cozy part of town, when the renovation is finished it will be very good. Many small shops are cozy.

Very nice area in Jeddah with Too many Historic houses

Walking through the narrow paths may seem uncertain at first, but its almost like finding treasures, you never know what you might see and where you might end up, but its fun none the less. Having a walk through the historical balad is a must when you are in jeddah

As a Tourist Guide .. this place is my home 😍🫶🏼

A wonderful historical place in Jeddah that shows cultural inheritance of Saudi Arabia 😊

Worth Visit

One of the most beautiful places I visited It is full of heritage and the life of the beautiful time I wished I had come at a peak time, but God willing, the visit will be repeated at night time👍🏻👍🏻

One of the most places you need to see when visit Jeddah

The historic district is theoretically very interesting. However everything is either demolished or under renovation. Forget to go around with googlemaps -just use it as a means to get somehow oriented- as half of the streets or even whole districts do not exist any longer.

Lots of places to visit, cafes in historic buildings, mostly crowded during the season

The best way to explore Jeddah’s historic old town, known as Al Balad, is on foot. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is full of eye candy. Stroll down Al Balad’s narrow streets and discover the city’s past through the neighborhood’s well-preserved architecture. Take notice of the traditional buildings decorated with ornate wooden details around the doors and windows. Merchants began carving the highly decorative wooden bay windows and balconies, known as rawasheen, in the mid-1800s. No trip to Al Balad would be complete without stopping by Souq Al Alawi, the oldest souq in Jeddah, to pick up some traditional spices, fabrics or a souvenir for someone back home.

Walk into history as you gazed upon the old houses still preserved up to this day. Worth of your time to visit this Historic District of Al Balad, Jeddah

💗💗 beautiful place and cheap market , , good for mind go and seat Watch the world, and also historical places 💗💗

Jeddah historical district is the very famous place. Al balad commercial center and bab Makkah including this place, and we walk at this time we will get the style of our old peoples makings and homes and everything it’s all natural and always give us a relaxation ofcose every were we can took photos good and good experience

We toured this area with a private guide and enjoyed the well versed history and being able to go inside of some of the houses. There is a lot of construction in the area as they work to stabilize and restore some buildings but it was still a great overall experience. Highly recommend visiting this area with a local guide.

I don't want to say anything other than what a beautiful place it is❤️❤️

Beautiful historic part of Jeddah, enjoy meandering around the ancient alleys, jumping from one shady patch to another. So many cute cats roaming the streets, with the local mostly embracing them, and feeding them when they can. Some areas currently under reconstruction, and many shops and sights not open at the time I went (morning).

It is amazing to see such old and beautiful buildings, we enjoyed the place and felt the great culture

Really enjoyed walking through this streets at evening. It has got a good vibe here. Buildings and walk ways are beautiful. There are some coffee shops, food outlets and baqalas. Many maintenance works are still going on.

Absolutely beautiful. Was indescribable. Highly recommend going here and walking around. People were friendly. Learnt a lot about the history of Jeddah.

Nice place to see the old Jeddah Very lovely Shops for everything u would ever think of and the prices are cheap
