About this tour

A warm welcome awaits you from our friendly driver in the hotel lobby. Step into a comfortable, air-conditioned private vehicle. Jeddah Flagpole (Pass By): It is a bit of a challenge to get excited by a flagpole, but this one is special — it is massive and can be seen from quite a distance. Al Balad Souk: You will walk through old neighborhoods (harrat) and explore ancient buildings, souqs, and attractions. Capture Memorable Photos: Stop for photos at historical houses that offer a rare opportunity to experience the blend of traditional architecture with modernity and discover Old Market hidden gems. Biet Nassif: Nasseef House (or Nassif House) is a historical structure in Al-Balad. As of 2009, it serves as a museum and cultural center with special exhibits and lectures given by historians. Al Shafei Mosque: This mosque is situated in the narrow alleys of old Jeddah town, off Suq Al Alawi. The mosque looks like a more recent construction, but the site has been used as a mosque since c. 1000 AD. Coffee Stop: Beyond the historic architecture and bustling alleyways of Jeddah's Al Balad district lies a vibrant network of cafés, each offering a unique portal into the city's rich culture and coffee traditions. Here, you'll enjoy a journey through top Al Balad cafés — perfect for a caffeine-fix pitstop. Qabel Trail: The bustling Balad marketplace includes this specialized market that sells electronics, perfumes, spices, dates, honey, and household items. Al Tayebat Museum: The museum offers a fascinating look into Jeddah's long and cosmopolitan past with a superbly curated representation of the city's 3,000-year history. It is housed in a multiroom complex that re-creates the traditional Hijazi architecture of the old city, with bay windows overlaid with intricate wooden latticework and ornate coral masonry. Jeddah Promenade (Pass By): A new area full of surprises called "The Art Promenade" — a quiet residential area by the sea within Jeddah's waterfront, extending to the marina. Here you can experience the excitement of international events with your family or friends. Jeddah Waterfront Park, Corniche Road: The Jeddah Corniche, also known as the Jeddah Waterfront, is a 30 km coastal resort area of the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Al Rahma Mosque: The Al-Rahmah Mosque (also known as Fatima Al-Zahra Mosque) is a mosque in Jeddah, Mecca Province, Saudi Arabia. Shopping Time: After the guided tour, enjoy 2 hours of free time. Your guide will drop you off at a convenient location, allowing you to indulge in some shopping. The End of the Tour: After a day filled with delights, our comfortable private vehicle will return you to your hotel, brimming with cherished memories. Trust our decade-long expertise in organizing tours and exploring the city with utmost comfort and peace of mind. Booking a tour can be daunting, but not with us!
