Museums
Taybat is a sprawling complex that recreates the traditional Hijazi architecture of the old city, with more than a dozen wings and more than 60,000 exhibits. The city features a number of exhibition areas that range from prehistoric times to the present day, including ancient artifacts, traditional clothing and historical texts. These exhibits offer visitors a deep insight into the history and cultural development of the Arabian Peninsula. The Taybat Museum is part of this. Jeddah has a rich history of about 2,500 years, from early settlements by fishing tribes to a thriving seaport that fueled Arab trade to its role as a gateway to the holy city of Mecca, where pilgrims flocked. Visitors can explore ancient coins, early manuscripts and traditional Saudi clothing, and the museum also features an intricate model of the pilgrimage to Mecca, including the Kaaba, the tall, cube-shaped stone building at the center of Islam's holiest site, the Haram. The museum building itself is a work of art, incorporating traditional Islamic architecture that attracts many tourists and architecture enthusiasts.
