Jeddah
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.
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.
Jeddah has one of the best souks (markets) in the kingdom, the
spectacular Souk Al-Alawi, which winds its way through
the old city.
