Old Jeddah
A maze of winding streets full of tiny shops and low-key eateries, Old Jeddah is a glimpse of a vanishing Arabia. Some exquisite wooden latticework balconies and façades cover the traditional houses, some of which are being restored while others are in sad decay. Don’t miss Souq Al-Alawi and the traditional Naseef and Shorbatly Houses. Al-Balad, start at Maydan Al-Bayal
