First Restorations of Old Jeddah Houses (jan 1, 1980 – jan 1, 2000)
Description:
In the 1980s and 1990s, were launched the first restorations of traditional Jeddah houses with the support of British consultants, Tunisian and Egyptian craftsmen and architects, the active involvement of a group of Jeddawi passionate
and committed architects and historians. The last remaining local craftsmen contributed to this process that continued during the following decades though at a somehow slower
pace.
