Jeddah Day Tour: Jeddah Al Balad Old City and Cultural Sites to Modern Day Megalopolis

Jeddah Day Tour: Jeddah Al Balad Old City and Cultural Sites 

We will need to walk on this tour and will enter several different local establishments. It is advised to avoid the middle of the day, which is when is most hot and when we'll take lunch.

Welcome to Jeddah's Past and Present, Proudly Presented By its People! 

Guided by a professional tour guide, we'll visit:

• Today we tour the ancient winding alleys and soaring wood-decked ornate edifices and markets of Jeddah Al Balad, the old city, and learn about the history of the red sea port that hosts and hails millions of Muslim pilgrims through time on their road to Mecca, along corridors of immortal commerce and cultural interchange.

• Kick-off your Jeddah tour with a visit to the stunning coral and wood-made old Ottoman houses in the city. One of the most eye-catching and historically-important ones is the Nasif House which was built in the 1850s by the well-known Nasif family. After lunch, explore the state-of-the-art Jeddah Corniche, a major attraction that acts as an open-air museum with modern sculpture displays and a hangout place of the locals. We'll also stop by Abdul Rauf Khalil Art Museum which houses a significant and unusual collection of arts, ethnography, and archaeology artifacts.
