Jeddah Regional Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography

The Jeddah Regional Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography occupies the Khuzam Palace and displays collections from different historical periods of the region. The galleries present artifacts that document human life on the Arabian Peninsula from prehistoric times through later eras.

The museum holds artifacts from the Stone Age that show people lived on the Arabian Peninsula in prehistoric times. Its collections trace human development through different periods up to more recent eras.

The exhibition displays objects from royal collections alongside traditional items that show how people lived and worked in the region. Walking through the galleries, you see the daily routines and customs that shaped local life over time.

Admission is free for all visitors and a full tour through all galleries takes about an hour and a half. You should wear comfortable shoes and allow enough time to look through the displays at your own pace.

The building itself is the former Khuzam Palace, an architecturally significant structure that now serves as the museum home. This dual role makes a visit interesting because the palace rooms themselves are part of what you discover.
