It is a historical cultural museum located in the Bab al-Bant building in historic Jeddah. The Saudi Ministry of Culture announced its establishment in September 2020 as part of the Quality of Life Program, one of the Saudi Vision 2030 programs, and it was inaugurated on December 6, 2025. The museum focuses on the stories of maritime navigation, trade, geology, pilgrimage, diversity, and other unique cultural elements that have shaped the identity of Jeddah, Mecca, and Medina throughout history. The museum represents a new artistic destination in the Kingdom that narrates human harmony and cultural richness in the journeys of pilgrims and umrah performers, and an innovative simulation of interaction among different nationalities, highlighting their customs, traditions, and civilizational achievements. Additionally, it serves as a cultural and historical window that provides a record of the aesthetic and heritage values of coastal cities along the Red Sea and their cultural impact. The museum is housed within the historic Bab al-Bant building, which has been restored to the highest standards of environmental sustainability as part of the Quality of Life Program initiatives to achieve the objectives of Vision 2030.
