The beautiful antique carved doors of Al Balad, the oldest part of the city of Jeddah, are very desirable for home decor. The lower left section of the blue door had been stolen last month, but it was returned and that messy ugly orange glue was applied to replace the panel. The day after I took this photo last week, the lower panel was stolen again. It's a shame that someone would do that. Al Balad is a UNESCO World Heritage site - and these doors are of historical value.
There was an unsightly pole supporting the overhang above this beautiful old door in Al Balad. I can only imagine how lovely Al Balad used to be back in its hey day...

The area still has character.
