Old houses in Jeddah turned into a tourist destination. The historical district represents the heritage that distinguishes the city of Jeddah.

brand new BBJ, that I picked up

at Waco TX, in 2001, flew it to Wichita for winglet attachment..and then ferried it to Jeddah...

This is one of tens of Jeddah’s historical houses, which have been restored and preserved from ruin, have become an important tourist destination.

About :

Jeddah (also spelled Jiddah, Jidda, or Jedda; Arabic: جدّة Ǧiddah) is a Saudi Arabian city located on the coast of the Red Sea and is the major urban center of western Saudi Arabia. It is the largest city in Makkah Province, and the second largest city in Saudi Arabia after the capital city, Riyadh. The population of the city currently stands at over 3.4 million. It is considered the commercial capital of Saudi Arabia and the wealthiest city in the Middle East and western Asia. Jeddah is the principal gateway to Mecca, Islam's holiest city, which able-bodied Muslims are required to visit at least once in a lifetime.

seen behind is one of two massive open air terminals that handle only the passengers doing the annual Hajj season...before Covid put an IED in the works, 2 million passengers would stream through these arrival/departure gates !!..

Beautiful metalworking on this old door at 7292 Abu Inabah Street in Jeddah's lovely 'Al-Balad' old city.

Two kids enjoying in the shallow waters..@Jeddah Nafoura (in arabic, i was told by colleague!).

I was experimenting with ISO settings to get confidence to use when required.

I realised till ISO 3200, pictures are printable (when full resolution pic is resized to 1200 X 800 pixel resolution). I am confortable at ISO 1600.
