Ramadan at Jeddah's Al Balad Looks Like This

During Ramadan, Al Balad - Jeddah’s historic district - fills with families gathering in its narrow streets to break their fast and spend the evening together. Lanterns cast a warm glow over the coral-stone buildings and wooden mashrabiyas, while the Red Sea breeze moves through the 7th-century UNESCO-listed quarter. Iftar unfolds among traditional Hijazi houses, with food vendors, children’s games and quiet moments of reflection shaping the atmosphere of the night.
