The Qabel Trail cuts through the heart of Al Balad as a narrow corridor flanked by high, intricate wooden balconies. It served as the central artery for Jeddah's merchants, connecting the Red Sea port directly to the bustling gold and textile markets. In nineteen twenty-one, Suleiman Qabel transformed this lane from a simple path into a commercial hub by purchasing the surrounding properties. He established a series of shops that anchored the city's trade, drawing travelers who moved between the harbor and the interior.
