Jeddah Doors of Al Balad

The doors of Al Balad are a photographer's paradise.  I love the different colored Arabic Script painted around the above door.  My guess is that this building is being renovated and the open wall above the door will maybe be getting window or possibly new roshan, the decorative slatted window coverings unique to this area.

The early morning sun caused the golden light on the upper part of this old door.  Many of the doors in Al Balad have a graceful arch shape above the door, like in the above and below photos.  The arch above the aqua colored door has an open vent, which is also a common architectural feature of these old buildings.
