Historic Jeddah Museum Highlights Rare Coral Prayer Beads of the Red Sea

Yusr prayer beads shine at the Red Sea Museum in Historic Jeddah as one of the top handicraft pieces, combining spiritual depth and aesthetic richness, reflecting the extension of local maritime heritage and its creative transformations. These beads are traditionally made from „yusr,” a rare type of black coral associated with Red Sea crafts, distinguished by its dark color and polished luster.
