Abstract
This paper discusses the oldest and most important port city in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia focusing on the impact of modernity on development that occurred in the architectural and urban spaces in contemporary passenger ports in the city and their historical comparators. Contemporary passenger ports in the city are supposed to reflect the identity and spatial, cultural, and social heritage of the port cities in the Kingdom. The passengers’ experience and view of the culture and identity of these port cities is discussed within the context of the non-place theory (Auge, 2010). This paper will present a comparative study method based on literature review and personal interviews of cruise visitors’ experiences, evidenced and measured through different taxonomies (envelops). The study particularly focuses on the forms of architectural building space and the users understanding and interpretation of these spaces created during the arrival, visiting and departure process, resulting in a critique and dialogue between past rituals, culture, and future aspirations.
