About the Jameel House in Jeddah

Located in Al-Balad in Historic Jeddah, the Jameel House in Jeddah operated as an educational institute teaching traditional crafts between 2015 and 2021. With a mission to preserve and champion Saudi’s oldest crafts, around 15 students graduated annually from the Jameel House in Jeddah’s one-year training programme, developed and delivered by The King’s Foundation School of Traditional Arts, according to the same principles and standards as the courses at the London campus.

The Jameel House in Jeddah is part of a network of Jameel Houses worldwide developed in collaboration between Community Jameel and the King’s Foundation, with the Jameel House of Traditional Arts in Cairo opening in 2009, and the Jameel House of World Traditional Arts in Scotland in 2025.
