• 5Jeddah - Historical Tour

  Ayat was an excellent guide – very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She brought the old district of Jeddah to life and answered all my questions about Saudi culture and daily life. My main goal was to truly understand how people live here, and she delivered that completely. The whole experience felt warm, welcoming and personal because of her. I’d definitely recommend this tour.

• 5A delightful tour through the streets of Al Balad

  I had such a lovely evening with Ayat. She showed me all around the beautiful Al Balad neighborhood. The streets are charming to walk around, the architecture is incredible and there are so many interesting shops to look at and foods to try. Ayat is so sweet and knowledgeable. I learned so much from her. I thoroughly recommend this tour with Ayat.

  We had a wonderful historic district tour in Jeddah with our female guide, Anat Alsharif. She was incredibly attentive, genuine, and inspiring throughout the experience. Her insights into the history, culture, and daily local life made the tour truly special and meaningful. Anat has deep knowledge and a beautiful way of connecting the past with present-day Jeddah. She also shared excellent local recommendations that we genuinely enjoyed. Highly recommended for anyone who wants an insightful and authentic experience. Family Garcia Suari

About Jeddah

Jeddah, on the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia, is an old trading port and the gateway to Mecca, with a historic district of coral-stone houses.

Jeddah has been a port on the Red Sea since ancient times, and a landing point for pilgrims travelling to Mecca, which lies to the east. Al-Balad, its old quarter and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserves tall coral-stone houses with carved wooden balconies, called roshan, and narrow lanes, and the souks around them still trade in spices, textiles and perfume.
