In Historic Jeddah, a tourist scene that no tourist or visitor can forget. At night, a light of colors dances with the noise of the voices of street vendors... as if the historical gate was opened in front of the public on a scene from an ancient and beautiful time. The wall was built by one of the Mamluk princes, Hussein al-Kurdi, when he went to the Red Sea to fortify it from the attacks of the Portuguese occupation. And a gate from the side of Mecca, and the wall contained six towers, each of which was surrounded by sixteen cubits. The current two new doors were added, and in the year 1947 AD the wall was removed in order to enter the urban area. Historic Jeddah is divided within its wall into many neighborhoods called lanes, and among these lanes: Haret Al-Mazloum: geographically located in the northeastern side of it, and named by this name in relation to Mr. Abdul Karim Al-Barzanji, who was killed by the Ottoman government. Al Qabel. Al-Yaman neighborhood: It is located geographically in the southern part of it, and acquired its name because of its direction to the country of Yemen.
