About the Jameel House in Jeddah
Located in Al-Balad in historic Jeddah, the Jameel House of Traditional Arts in Jeddah was a centre for traditional crafts education that operated from 2015 to 2021.
With a mission to preserve and champion traditional arts in Saudi Arabia, around 90 students graduated from the Jameel House in Jeddah’s one-year training programme, which was developed and delivered by The King’s Foundation School of Traditional Art, according to the same principles and standards as the courses at its London campus.
The Jameel House in Jeddah is part of a network of Jameel Houses worldwide developed as a partnership between Community Jameel and The King’s Foundation.
The network also includes the Jameel House of Traditional Arts in Cairo and the Jameel House of World Traditional Arts in Scotland.
