Baeshen Museum

The Baeshen Museum is housed within a grand, historic mansion built in eighteen fifty-six by a prominent Jeddah merchant family. You can identify the structure by the intricate wooden lattice balconies, known as roshan, which project from its coral-stone walls to catch sea breezes and provide shade for the narrow streets below. The building is an example of the Hijazi architectural tradition that defines the historic Al Balad district.
