Jeddah, Jiddah, Jadda or Juddah, also known as the bride of the Red
Sea, the port of the two holy cities, the gateway to the city of Makkah and
main seaport of contemporary Saudi Arabia, is located on the coast of the Red
Sea. Its historic core, known as al-Balad district, is the historic quarter
of the city that has been preserved since the city was established in 646 AD.
The historical values of old Jeddah date back to 250 BC, but the interesting
thing about the history of the city is that it developed in both the
pre-Islamic and the Islamic eras. However, at the beginning of the 16th
century the city was attacked by Portuguese troops several times and by some
Bedouins, who destroyed most of the city. As a response to these threats the
Mamluk Sultan Al-Ghori ordered to build a fortified wall surroundings the
city to protect it in 1509. This wall was the first documented attempt to
protect the city since its establishment. Many experts believe that the city
wall was the reason for the existence of the historic district “al-Balad”
until the present. Nowadays, Jeddah’s historic core is acting as a catalyst
for different types of built heritage conservation discourses in Saudi Arabia
by different stakeholders by trying to inscribe the site as world heritage
site at UNESCO. Therefore, how the city wall was the corner stone of
preservation the city legacy “heritage”? And why the old city of Jeddah
became a historic site candidate to be a world heritage site at UNESCO? In
terms of achieving the paper aims, the author will consult the Saudi
available literature in the field, official reports and the author will
conduct surveys and observations to the old city of Jeddah.

Jeddah’s Historic
Core and the Evolution of the Saudi Built Heritage Conservation Discourse
since the 1970’s till 2011
|
ملخص المشاركة:
|
The city of Jeddah is Saudi Arabia’s main gateway to the two holy
cities of Mecca and Medina and the second most important city in the Kingdom
after the capital, Riyadh. Its historic core, known as “al-Balad” District,
is the only still inhabited heritage urban fabric in Saudi Arabia but it is
currently facing serious challenges that could threaten its survival for
future generations. Jeddah’s historic core is currently acting as a catalyst
for different types of built heritage conservation discourses by different
stakeholders, in both governmental and non-governmental agencies. This paper
will trace and review the evolution of the Saudi built heritage conservation
discourse since the 1970 [the first official conservation scheme] until 2012
in the case of Jeddah’s historic core. The paper proposes six main phases of
the evaluation of the built heritage discourse in Jeddah’s historic core.
Furthermore, built heritage conservation discourse in Saudi Arabia in general
and in Jeddah in particular has evolved in the last four decades from a
complete neglect during the oil boom years of the 1970’s to recent attempts
to inscribe different sites on the UNESCO world heritage list to promote
tourism in these historic sites. In order to achieve the paper aim the
researcher will consult the Saudi available literature.
