Historic Jeddah Summer: Experiences Combine Heritage, Arts, Knowledge

 Historic Jeddah Summer offers visitors an experience that goes beyond exploring its alleyways, markets, and historic landmarks, drawing them into spaces where culture, art, technology, and knowledge converge through a diverse program that reflects the dynamism of this UNESCO World Heritage site and its ability to present its heritage in a contemporary spirit.
 These experiences are spread across several cultural sites. The Red Sea Museum showcases Saudi Arabia's maritime heritage and the Red Sea's connections with civilizations and peoples. The "Sunken Treasures" exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the history of navigation, sunken ships, and underwater archaeological exploration. From August 25 to 29, the museum will host the "Red Sea Lab" summer camp, transforming the sea into a living laboratory where children can explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through interactive experiences.
 In a unique experience, the teamLab Borderless museum blends art and technology in a digital environment where exhibits transform in response to visitors' interaction. Meanwhile, Zawiya 97 revives traditional arts through workshops in Arabic calligraphy, gilding, copper engraving, and wood carving, providing spaces that combine learning, practice, and creativity.
 The Sharbatly Cultural House (Beit Al-Sharbatly) draws on the historical significance of its location to offer summer programs for children and teenagers that combine design, architecture, programming, and innovation. The season's diversity also extends to mental sports, with the Jeddah Season Chess Championship featuring competitors from various countries, alongside community activities that attract a wide range of visitors.
