Historic Jeddah is strengthening its position as a cultural platform for Saudi crafts, blending Hijazi architecture with traditional industries and serving as a vibrant space for introducing national crafts and showcasing their cultural and economic value to international visitors.
On Gold Street, the Saudi Artisanal Company, a government initiative, empowers local artisans by offering products inspired by Red Sea culture and Hijazi motifs. The company’s store features handcrafted items that combine traditional skills with modern standards for everyday use and gifting.
These efforts support Saudi Vision 2030 objectives to develop the creative economy, enhance local content, and preserve national heritage.
