Bab Al-Bont Museum marks Jeddah’s maritime heritage
The Bab al-Bunt area in Jeddah transformed from a historic port that welcomed ships and pilgrims into a museum that narrates the history of the Red Sea and Jeddah's maritime relationships. This change comes after restoration and development works carried out as part of the projects for Jeddah’s historic district, led by the Saudi Ministry of Culture. Established in 1867, Bunt was a major hub for welcoming pilgrims and traders, featuring a port and a building that housed health and administrative facilities. It played a significant role in strengthening the city’s economic and commercial activity over centuries. Today, the museum revives the site's memory, showcasing models of traditional ships and historical documents, preserving its legacy as a testament to the long-standing relationship between Jeddah and the sea.
