    Old jeddah market where you can buy all kinds of items for cheaper as opposed to bigger cities like Riyadh, Makkah or Madina. I bought myself a few clothing items and it's better to go and explore shops inside which are cheaper and offer the same quality goods. Sometimes you can get things for half the price if you know how to bargain and try to show you are a local as opposed to a foreigner. I had the good fortune of having a local saudi friend who bargained for me and I kept my mouth shut :p. All in all a very interesting experience، it's an old school market so don't expect it be super store.

    Bab Sharif Gate, also known as Bab Sharif Historic Jeddah Gate, is an iconic historical gate located in the Al-Balad district of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Al-Balad, which means "The Town" in Arabic, is the historic center of Jeddah and is famous for its preserved old architecture and cultural heritage. Bab Sharif Gate is one of several historic gates in the Al-Balad district, and it serves as a symbol of the city's rich history. The gate is an example of traditional Arabian architecture, featuring intricate designs, coral stone walls, and wooden detailing. It is a popular attraction for both locals and tourists who visit the old town to explore its heritage, history, and cultural significance. The Al-Balad district, where Bab Sharif Gate is located, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is known for its well-preserved coral buildings, narrow winding streets, and a unique blend of historical and modern life. Visitors to this area can experience the charm of Jeddah's past and appreciate the efforts to conserve its cultural legacy. Bab Sharif Gate, along with the surrounding Al-Balad district, provides a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Jeddah and the broader region.

    It’s an old and famous wholesale market in Jeddah. Most of the items available in this market. Due to expansion of infrastructure in Jeddah some areas of babaharif were demolished by authority. Historical buildings were located in this region.

👍👍 Easy to walk from Historic Are and then catch a taxi also. Would be a good idea if the Authorities put up a plaque or something to make it easy for people to understand it’s importance.

👍 So many things happening here.... You have music, good food, entertainment galleries, shops that sell everything from clothes, nuts, perfumes, body care, gifts..etc. Take a good look at the historic buildings and know that PPL used to live here. It's a surreal moment being in that place.
