Historical Tour of Jeddah’s Old Town (Al-Balad)
The tour begins with a visit to Al-Balad, Jeddah’s historic old town, which is known for its traditional architecture and vibrant markets. Al-Balad is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is filled with beautiful old houses made from coral stone.
You’ll walk through narrow alleys, visit ancient mosques, and explore the lively souks (markets) where you can find local crafts, spices, and souvenirs.
Your guide will share stories about the history of the area, including how Jeddah has been a key trading hub for centuries.
The Floating Mosque
Next, you’ll visit the famous Floating Mosque, also known as the Al Rahma Mosque. Located right by the Red Sea, the mosque appears to “float” on the water at high tide, making it a stunning sight.
You’ll have the chance to admire the mosque’s beautiful architecture, with its large white domes and minarets, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. It’s also a great spot for photographs with the sea in the background.
Corniche Walk and Seaside Views
After the mosque, you’ll head to the Jeddah Corniche, a long stretch of waterfront that runs along the Red Sea. The Corniche is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, with walking paths, parks, and cafes.
Take a leisurely walk along the Corniche, enjoying the sea breeze and views of the coastline. This is a perfect time to relax and take in the natural beauty of the area.
Jeddah’s Modern Attractions
The tour also includes a visit to some of Jeddah’s modern landmarks.
You’ll stop by the King Fahd Fountain, the tallest fountain in the world, which shoots water 260 meters into the air. The fountain is especially impressive when lit up at night, but it’s still a remarkable sight during the day.
Another stop on the tour will be the Jeddah Sculpture Museum, an open-air gallery featuring large modern sculptures from local and international artists. This museum showcases Jeddah’s modern artistic side and offers a unique cultural experience.
Traditional Saudi Meal
To complete your day, you’ll enjoy a traditional Saudi meal at a local restaurant. The meal will feature delicious dishes like kabsa (a rice dish with meat), falafel, and hummus, allowing you to taste the flavors of Saudi Arabian cuisine.
