Many of the wooden architectural details of Old Jeddah are painted in shades of blue. Above is a section of an old door of Al Balad, the oldest district of Jeddah. Its intricate carvings make it one of the most beautiful in the area.
These old style window coverings are called roshan. The ones above are newer and replaced older ones that were too damaged to fix. The roshan were slatted and made in different geometric designs.
