Roshan are the slatted wooden window coverings
Al Balad is the oldest sector of Jeddah
I wish I could have seen Al Balad in its hey day.
It really must have been something.
Many thanks to my friend Aileen Byrne for allowing the use her photos in this post.
Those window coverings look so mysterious.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of those coverings. I agree, that area must have been grand when it was new.
ReplyDeleteThey are photogenic.
ReplyDeleteLove these insights to places and things that I see in photos and wonder about. Lovely photos. And how much nicer they make a concrete building look!
