  • After numerous suggestions, we had to head down to Al-Balad. We went during the day as we had no other spare time available, it was quiet, but we still got to meet some characters along the way and learn something about how Saudi Arabia use to operate long before the fast paced ultra modern cities that we know of now.
    Al-Balad, also known as Jeddah Historic District, is the historical area of Jeddah, the second largest city of Saudi Arabia. Al-Balad can literally be translated to "The Town". Al-Balad is the historic center of the City of Jeddah

    Those windows are their answer to heat in Saudi Arabia. There was no air conditioning so they had to be creative. I suspect it has to do something with sun light either for keeping it out or spreading the light in. Genius design for their times.

    The architecture you see is from here, from the city of Jeddah or the Hijaz region and Saudi Arabia in general. The ancient Saudi Arabs, currently, transferred it to Spain in the west and to Central Asia in the east.

      فهل لديك اعتراض على أنا من نسلهم؟؟
      وهل لديك اعتراض أن نفخر بهم
      وبتاريخهم وبإرثهم الذي تركوه لنا؟؟؟
      وأنا بنينا دولتنا كما بنوا هم دولًا
      وحضارة عريقة تُنسب

      كل شيء فعلوه هو تاريخنا نحن. هو
      تاريخ أجدادنا، هو ارثنا وتراثنا وماضينا.
      ونحن الحاضر ونمشي على خطاهم
      بما يتناسب مع زماننا.

    My father-in-law used to live in one of those big old empty houses decades ago when he was a child. He told me that the wood they used for windows and balconies came from wrecked ships in the Red Sea.
    I’ve been inside that house once and it was fascinating to see so many secret chambers, unpredictable hallways and tiny stairs everywhere ! A real maze !
    All those old houses are now under the care of the ministry of culture and tourism. They are named after the families who used to live in them, and they are all famous and renowned descendants who live in the modern world now.

Jeddah was attacked by the Portuguese in the 15th century when Jeddah was part of the Ottoman Empire, but they defeated the Portuguese ships, and the cannons were extracted from the ships and placed Infront of the house. You also missed one of the oldest mosques in the world built about one thousand four hundred years ago.

Please forgive me. My brother, there is still a brotherhood of faith. I asked you for a bag of flour. My brother, we women cannot go out among men. There is still a woman with you. My brother, God has honored you. You are men. We are women. We cannot go out or work like you. My brother, where is the brotherhood of faith in your hearts? We are women. There is no brotherhood, no mercy, no compassion, no humanity. And give good tidings to the patient. It is the greatest hope while waiting for what we want. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' How many times I called and talked and tried hard, but no one responded. Oh man, we are with you. My mother ordered us food from the restaurant. More and today. My mother left. Crying. She said, Why are you crying, my mother? She said, My daughter, I ask. God, that I may be honored by death. She said, Why, my mother. She cursed us. She said, "My daughter, today the restaurant owner insulted me. I said, 'Why?' I said, 'How can I be better than people?' I ask God, my daughter. May God gather me. With death alone, a gathering that is better than this humiliation and this humiliation. It is true. I am saying this. It diminishes my value and respect. But, man. I swear to God that I did not say this. I kiss your boots. I am so hungry that my conscience no longer allows me to let you go and ask us for food. I kiss your boots, man, and I ask you by God Almighty and in the Book of God, man, I kiss your boots, man. He has caused us harm, my brother, so that we can buy a kilo of flour and pay the rent. My brother, have mercy on us. He who is in the show will have mercy on you, He who is in the sky. My brother, this is my WhatsApp number: 00967714730358. Whoever can help us, message me on WhatsApp. We will send him the full name. He will transfer us as much as he can. May Allah reward you. Allah knows that my family and I, our house rent is 15 thousand Yemeni riyals per month, and now we owe 45 thousand for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of those people who do not have mercy. By Allah, my brother, he comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants to throw us out of the house and into the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. We will have until the end of the week, and if we pay him, he will swear by Allah that he will throw us out into the street without mercy. See my situation for yourselves. I ask you by Allah, the Living, the Eternal, to help me. By Allah, the Almighty, even at night we cannot sleep from fear. We do not have mattresses or blankets to warm ourselves from the cold. Everything is flooded from the rain, and we have no one but Allah and then you. My brothers, I kiss your boots, don’t turn me away empty-handed. Help us with whatever you can. Is it acceptable to you that we live in this place? We are girls and we have no one. Our father died in a car accident. Consider us your daughters and your honor, and help me with whatever you can.
