Bab al-Bant Museum: Jeddah's Merchant Gate
The "Bab Al-Bant" gate in Jeddah has transformed from a historic port that welcomed pilgrims and merchants into a museum that promotes the city's maritime heritage. The port was established in 1867 and served as a starting and returning point for pilgrims and traders coming from various parts of the Red Sea and the Middle East. It included the "Qarantina" building, which handled health inspections and customs. After its role ceased in the mid-20th century, the site was revitalized and turned into a museum highlighting Jeddah’s maritime history. It showcases ancient Red Sea vessels and traditional navigation tools, illustrating its deep connection to the cultural and economic identity of the city.
