About
The Red sea museum
Nestled in the heart of Jeddah’s UNESCO-listed historic district of Al Balad, the Red Sea Museum reimagines the landmark Bab Al Bunt building as a living centre of cultural exchange. Once a gateway for pilgrims, merchants, and explorers, it now anchors a new journey: one that celebrates the shared stories, biodiversity, and the enduring spirit of the Red Sea and its people.
