In this video of Living the Jo Life, we visit the old town, Al Balad in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Located next to the Red Sea, Al Balad, a World Heritage Site, used to be the gateway to Makkah for Muslim pilgrims arriving by sea. Al Balad is known for its historic buildings, often built of coral stone with colored wooden bay windows and balconies (rawashin) dating back more than 400 years. Some of the historic buildings are open to the public and have their own names, e.g. Bait Nassif, Bait Matbouli, and Bait Baeshen. In Al Balad, you will also find one of the oldest mosques, Al Shafie Mosque, dating back about 1400 years. Once the sun sets, all the street markets come alive. Here you can buy all sorts of material, gold jewelry, perfumes, dates, meat, fruit and vegetables, and much more. There are also a number of nicely decorated cafes serving cakes, juices, ice cream and of course Arabic coffee and dates. We had a fantastic time exploring Al Balad and we can highly recommend a visit to this exotic and vibrant part of Jeddah.

Perfect and thanks
It is a soybia, not wine. It is a popular drink made from barley, and the demand for it increases during the month of Ramadan
@@abuyazeed321 Thank you for the information 😊
Viset hidden place in Saudi for more vloger and thing to do and top 10 place
I hope you all enjoyed in my area🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦
This tiny branch shaped/twig is from a plant called: Salvadora persica. We call it in Arabic: Meiswak مسواك and it is a favorable habit for the majority of muslims during prayer time, fasting time in the month of Ramadhan during the day which helps keep a fresh breath and an overall alternative teeth cleaner to the conventional toothbrush and paste. The chemical compounds in it produce a heat sensation that ia similar to fresh cinnamon or cloves. Hopefully this answers your query 😁
Thank you for all the information ❤️ We were so confused about what it was. Certainly a strong flavour. After teeth felt very clean afterwards 😁
It is called Arak tree in Arabic
@@livingthejolife that's what Prophet MOHAMMED use to use especially during prayer times. He used to encourage people to use it to keep their teeth fresh during Prayer's time 👉 As another idea, the creator,Allah, can smell anything from up there so prophet Mohammed PBUH used to encourage the use of Miswak ... As another note, Demons def hate Miswak ⚽ Enjoy! Demons Do sleep in human beings Nose it's an accurate information ⚽
@@sueellenelasali7278 Mohammad the right spelling,,,thanks
Miswaak is the sunnah of our prophet Muhammad
You guys just put Saude Arabia on my bucket list to visit. I think I'll need a couple of months ❤
Inshallah 👍
❤
The Saudi people are a generous people, and we have a great civilization, history and heritage. I am glad that you saw that, and I hope that the rest will visit Saudi Arabia and enjoy it.
Very kind and hospitable people. We look forward to seeing more of the country 😊
Youre right but most of these people aren't Saudis
@@swag-yw7ut WTF , are they Indians or what please don’t say that again in front of us because we know the Saudi Arabia
I grew up in Jeddah and this place is one of the most nostalgic for me. Really love souk Balad.
Glad we could bring back memories for you 😊 Thanks for watching.
As a Canadian who lived in Jeddah for 17 years you really start feeling like home and loving the city sites and the beach.. most of the run down houses you see have actually one of the most expensive looking interior so different than the exterior haha it’s always fun to see.. I miss Al ballad I haven’t been in that downtown area for a long time since I was a child they sell one of the best mini perfumes
It really is a beautiful place. We look forward to visiting again. Love the coffee shops! Thanks so much for watching 🙏😊

That tiny branch is called "Meiswak" in Arabic...In Bengali it is called "Neem Gacher Dal" which is used to clean teeth...It has many health benefits as well...
Wonderful exploring. Thank you so much. LIVING THe Jo life you are the best❤❤❤❤❤

Thank makes us so happy 😊 Thank you ❤️
Alaikomissalam😍 one of the beautiful and historical area Al-Balad. Maa Shaa Allah.
👋 Thanks for watching 😊
The small wooden stick that you guys used to clean your teeth with is a toothbrush and it's called MISS-WAK in Arabic. The history behind this MISS-WAK (or the wooden toothbrush) goes back to the days of Prophet Mohammad who used to use it to clean his teeth with. So people who still use it nowadays (not a lot) is to bring them spiritually to prophet Mohammad (it's kind of doing what the prophet did or used in his daily life). I hope this helps like you requested in your video.
I so miss Saudi! Im a new subscriber and I will definitely be an avid fan of your vlogs. I am so happy you encouraged people to adopt the strays because I dont think so that there are lots of animal rescuers in KSA. When I was in Makkah, I tried to feed the strays in our neighborhood. Keep uploading more videos! Sending my regards from the Philippines!
Welcome to our channel! Thanks for subscribing 😊 Yes I agree, the car situation is so sad. Hopefully they will put a program in place for them. My daughter wanted to take th all home 🥹
@Europe is better than everyone of us has its own views so don't put on me your take about dictatorship and all. I dont even complain about colonialism
@Europe is better than I am a Muslim and I am happy because people like the Jo Family is enjoying Saudi. That's all.
@Europe is better than say whatever you want dear. We all have our own perception so respect mine and I'll respect yours too. ciao!
@Europe is better than HAHAHA HOW COME SOME FILIPINOS LIKE YOU ALSO ARE SO BITTER AND CANT EVEN ACCEPT THE FACT THE PINKLAWANS LIKE U WILL NEVER WIN. And may I ask, have u ever been to Saudi to even have the guts to talk BAD about that country? Hahaha
Amazing video, Al-Balad, or historic Jeddah, is the only major red sea pre-modern urban existing site, the significance of this site that it's the only remaining piece of the pre-modern red sea culture and architecture, so it's good to see ongoing restoration project taken place
Thanks you! It's a beautiful area. We really enjoyed exploring.
شكرا و اهلا و سهلا
وكأنك تتمشى بالشام او المغرب او تونس القيروان 😍

Here in India we use Neem Tree tender stem for brushing a teeth. One has to chew it for some time to make it like a tooth brush or very similar to paint brush, and brush a teeth then. In most part of villages it is still used for brushing a teeth. Fresh, natural and environment friendly too 😁. Neem (Azadirachta indica) has insecticidal and medicinal properties.
welcome to Saudi Arabia.. Jeddah is my hometown, hope you enjoy your staying :)😊💜
Thanks for the kind welcome 😊🙏❤️
Wow what a beautiful family! Mashallah, your hijabs are beautiful and compliment the abayas so well. So nice to see expats experiencing KSA 🫶🏻
Thanks so much for your sweet comment 🥰 We are really enjoying our experience here. We are bring our a new Saudi series from next week. Hope you will enjoy it 😊
Honestly speaking you guys look so beautiful when you covered your head
Birthplace of the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.
Hi Amar !
I’m afraid you re mistaken, our prophet Mohammed peace be upon him was born in the city of Makkah.
@@Mo-ln6qo I know brother, I am talking about the whole Saudi Arabia not just Jadah. But I agree with you that our beautiful prophet Muhammad peace be upon him was born in makkah.
@europeisbetterthan5269 رح تثقف
I love this place, great outfits you guys try ❤🤩
Yes it's a cool place! Was a fun day out! 😊
U guys are so adorable, I’m glad u had fun in my city ❤️
Awe thanks so much! We had so much fun! 🙏
The Historic Jeddah city is surrounded by sky scrapers where you can feel old historical and modern city.
Fascinating to see your reaction to the miswak. Technically this is a tooth hygiene tradition that has been in the Arab world for literally thousands of years! When I think of it as someone who lives in the west I find it amazing that miswak became a religious act, and it is highly encouraged in Islam. I find it striking that brushing the teeth can be a religious act which is something I've never come across in theologies!
That's so interesting that miswak is a religious act. We had no idea what it was. Definitely surprised by the taste. Thanks for the information!
@@livingthejolife it comes from a tree called Salvadora persica اراك actually there is a specific type of this tree that was improved in KAUST that can be watered with salty water
@@zami8336 That's so interesting! Thanks for sharing
You guys have to visit Abha, Soudah Mountains (highest peak in Saudi Arabia), Al Namas, Tanoumah, Faifa mountains in Jazan and Farasaan Island.
Yes! We have plans to go to these places early next year. Really looking forward to it 😊
Thanks for your variety of videos and information. Well done
Glad you are enjoying our content 😊 Thanks for watching.
المملكة العربية السعودية ترحب بكم ♥️🇸🇦
Thanks for the kind welcome 😊🙏
The shaped like twig is from a plant called Miswak and it is like a tooth brush and the benifits of a miswak is that is fights plaque, fights gum disease, and leaves you with a healthy mouth, one interesting thing about it is that it is reputed to have been used over 7,000 years ago, the ingredients of the miswak are roots, twigs, and stem of Salvadora persica.
Thank you for the detailed information! Very interesting!
Friends, you are very wonderful and welcome to your second country.. I wish you the best of times ❤️
Thank you for the kind welcome 😊🙏 We are having an amazing time. Thanks for watching and supporting our channel ❤️
Such a beautiful family. Travelling is the best form of education. More people from the West needs to visit Muslim countries.
Thank you 😊 Yes I totally agree with you. I hope our video will at least help educate people. Thanks so much for watching 🙏

Thanks 😊
Thank you that is so great to hear. I hope your friends will come and visit 😊
Welcome to Saudi Arabia, nice to see lovely families like yourselves visit our country, I hope you enjoy your visit here, and the toothbrush you tried is called miswak , it’s a a root of a plant and you can use it to clean your teeth any time of the day and keep it in your pocket ;)
Thanks for the kind welcome! We had an amazing time exploring the old part of Jeddah. Thanks for the information about the toothbrush. So interesting!
Mashallah your family is very nice and beautiful Allah blessing for you
Thanks so much 😊❤️
I dont know that JEDDAH is so heritagely wonderful city. Restoring this old city is quite an effort and a MUST. Indeed it deserve a UN Heritage Site !
I've watched 3 of your vlogs so far! This is so informative. I'm visiting in February
So happy you have enjoyed our videos. I hope you enjoy your visit next year 😊
I love the old buildings and the beautiful geometric designs, the window seats and the cool interiors. I think those buildings would be a lot cooler with the windows open as they are designed to draw the hot air out the top. Sad to see the amount of street cats, maybe hopefully there is a charity / refuge for them, with care and vet services.
Yes the buildings are so fascinating. It was certainly hot inside! Yes definitely a street car problem. It was very hard to look at. Hopefully something will be done.
Nice Abayas , good choice .
The tooth brush called Meswak , ِArak tree roots, and this is how people brush teeth in the past . The rocks on minutes 18 are incense called Jawi , it is extracted from Sumatra Indonesia , they are burned on coal as home fragrances , some people believe that it kicks out devils :)
Thank you much for the information 😊🙏❤️
