Nice beginning of the old town sightseeing. An impressive unesco heritage
Renovation ongoing current as of 19-July-2024. However, the place is improved and worth visiting
Great atmosphere reflects old Jeddah heritage. With different flavors of old society activities in one spot.
As the heart of the old city, it's a testament to Saudi Arabia's rich heritage, still in a state of transformation under the Ministry of Culture's watchful eye.
The allure of Jeddah's Old Gate lies in its authenticity, with its ancient streets and traditional architecture transporting visitors to another era. Walking through its labyrinthine pathways, one can't help but marvel at the intricate details of the old houses, each whispering tales of bygone eras.
While our experience was enriched by the Ramadan atmosphere, I echo the sentiment of returning during milder weather, particularly from December to March. This would allow for a more leisurely exploration of the area, unhindered by the scorching heat, and perhaps provide an opportunity to appreciate its beauty in full bloom.

Every visitor to Jeddah must come here. The planning, story telling, facilities and consequential immersive experience presented by the Ministry of Culture is of a world class standard. Wander the souks, take a tour and totally reimagine your perspectives of Saudi in this beautiful historic place
I am not sure if it is worth visiting Jeddah for this. If you are passing via Jeddah, i would recommend a visit to old town. Local people were friendly and very helpful.
The old town needs more attention for the government and maintenance. It so sad that some beautiful building likes this are not maintained as one would expect. It seems there arre government projects underway to preserve the old building.
I would recommend visiting the old houses. Google was not helpful sometimes when it comes to information about opening times.
Some old houses were suppose to open for public according to Google but there were not and vice versa.

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.
