"End your walk east of the Al Shafee Mosque at this evocative snow-white minaret, hidden down an alley close to Al Basha. It is all that remains of the historic mosque named after another great early Muslim theologian, Imam Abu Hanifa.

Staring up at the classic honeycombed detail, try to imagine the aged muezzin as he makes his way up the pencil-like monument to call the faithful to prayer, to evoke one last time, the Jeddah of a bygone era."
