Avatar

A video footage from a passerby in Jeddah’s Al-Balad souk district caught a glimpse of two European tourists, some reports say, and performed songs.

The video, shared on Instagram account @jeddah_events, now has more than 23,000 views on the platform with hundreds and hundreds of varied reactions from Saudi.

A small crowd of people gathered to watch two European tourists perform a song

…and what can be seen in the video as a guitar case where people can choose to give money.

Some actually found the performing in streets to be pleasant

“Are they just tourists or it’s a way to spread the eastern thoughts and cultures in the oldest place in Jeddah?”
