Are there any museums you've been to here in Jeddah? The only place I know is Athr Gallery. Though I think it isn't really a museum itself? If you know anything please leave a commet below. Thank you.

Jeddah has not too many museums as compared to Riyadh. I have listed a few that I know.
1) Downtown - Albalad has a historical area, old designed buildings. They also have organized tourist guides available within the area. Just pay them a visit and they will take care of your tour.
2) Abdul Rauf Khalil Musuem - Google coordinates 21.552172, 39.167498
3) Jeddah Sculptures Museum was in Alruwais (not sure still there) - Google coordinates 21.538528, 39.156765

There is also the Angawi House, but it is not open all the time only by special appointment as it is someone's actual house,聽 BUT it is AMAZING to see and shows off the Hijazi (probably spelled wrong) architecture that used to be all over the city

If you mean Angawi House I don't. I was sent a map a few days before we toured it and have since deleted the message as it was a year ago.

Hi

I didn't save the gmaps location when I visited angawi house, sorry.

I was instruct to meet up with the organizer and others visitor then we went together.

The fee about -+200 riyal which They use it to maintain the house for longer use.

As expected, the host is friendly, in fact, they serve afternoon tea for us to make our visit more enjoyable.

I can share the organizer # via message , just let me know here

Wish you the best 鈽�

Thanks much appreciated, it's not that I am really into archaeology or something, it's just there aren't many places to visit here and I don't mind seeing something new
