Jeddah: Elegant Door


I love these beautiful intricately carved details on this wooden door, located at the Tayebat Museum in Jeddah.

  1. Do people there celebrate Valentine's Day? Probably not?

    1. Hi Sillygirl - Valentine's Day is not a publicized holiday here and is forbidden. In years past, the religious police have shut down florists, confiscated red and pink boxes of chocolates, teddy bears, and flowers in the days leading up to Valentine's Day. The hubbub has died down the past couple of years, but if there is any celebrating of that holiday here, it is done privately and not overtly.
