Jeddah is fast turning into one of the most premier destinations for arts in the Middle East. There’s already close to a dozen art galleries in the city and thanks to a major beautification drive in the 70s, Jeddah is filled with sculptures by some of the most renowned sculptors of the day. Taking its artistic legacy forward a new center for arts called Hayy Jameel is set to open on December 6.

The center is enormous, spanning 17,000 square meters.
