Jiddah Historic District

About Jeddah Historic District Program

Historic Jeddah - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - is a prominent heritage destination in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Given its cultural significance and status, We work to maintain, preserve and rehabilitate historic buildings and conduct archaeological studies and research in addition to archaeological excavations. We actively involve the community in operating and promoting the district and support the artistic, cultural, and commercial movement. This aligns with our endeavor to make Historic Jeddah a hub of arts and culture and a sustainable international heritage destination generating human and economic opportunities by investing in heritage and culture.

Our Initiatives

Jeddah Historic District Program’s projects and initiatives aim to create a significant shift in Historic Jeddah, restore its social and economic status, develop its living space, and invest in its cultural elements to contribute to economic growth and achieve the goals of Vision 2030.
