Tim at Al-Tayebat International City

Last Thursday we enjoyed another event with the Jeddah Heart Group here in Jeddah. We went to the Al-Tayebat International City. It is a 10,000 square meter palace that is now being used as a cultural center / museum in Jeddah. Classes and visits are made by appointment and proceeds from the various activities benefit orphans, the poor and those in need. It houses various artifacts, displays and libraries.... we enjoyed the company of several people invited by the Jeddah Heart Group and we brought 3 people from the compound with us. They let us tour the facility and then we gathered in a large area they called the cafeteria to observe a demonstration, a young man giving an
Arabic call. There was a curator who talked about the museum... we did not stay for the talk as it was in Arabic with limited translation. They served Arabic coffee, water, and local pastries.... In all it was a wonderful evening and will be one of the events that we will remember fondly of our adventure here in Jeddah. Tonight we have been invited to attend another more private event with Jeddah Heart.... more on that later. :)
Here are some pictures we took at the Al-Tayebat International City.
