    JeddahSaudi Arabia7th century CE / 19th century tower houses

    Al-Balad is the historic seventh-century center of Jeddah, famed across Arabia for its towering coral-stone merchant houses and intricate wooden Roshan balconies. Rich in maritime history and coastal lore, the ancient alleyways and abandoned merchant mansions have generated centuries of tales regarding coastal jinn, phantom merchant footprints, and lingering Ottoman-era spirits.
