Dette er en halvdags oplevelse at turnere Al Balad som lokalt kalder det, hvilket betyder "byen" som reference til Jeddahs base. Al-Balad blev grundlagt i det 7. århundrede og tjente historisk som centrum for Jeddah. Al-Balads forsvarsmure blev revet ned i 1940'erne. I 1970'erne og 1980'erne, da Jeddah begyndte at blive rigere på grund af olieboomet, flyttede mange jeddawier nordpå, væk fra Al-Balad Al Balad er registreret som et verdensarvssted for UNISCO, og siden da er de gamle bygninger med dets unikke vinduesdesign og døre blevet bevaret sammen med dets unikke bygninger, som nogle er bygget med muslingeskaller og sten!. De gamle bygninger husede engang de berømte Jeddah-familier og var vært for grundlæggeren af den afdøde kong Abdulaziz, da han først kom ind i Jeddah. Vores tur vil gå gennem historien om disse bygninger, herunder at gå ind i en af bygningerne for at se interiørdesign, møbler og livet dengang
De gamle moskeer er en anden turistattraktion, hvor nogle blev grundlagt for over 300 år siden og stadig fungerer som en moské. Hovedattraktionen i denne tur er maden og snacks fra Al Balad, hvor vi vil gå forbi nogle berømte sælgere, der er kendt for at tilbyde de bedste lokale snacks såsom den lokale drink lavet af brød "Sobia" og det gamle bageri, som er berømt for dets friske brød. En anden lokal snack, der består af bønner og pickles "Balilah". Vi stopper for at hvile på et af de lokale kaffefriluftssteder og prøver berømt lokal te blandet med mælk og urter Vi vil flytte for at besøge centrum af Al Balad for at se det første hotel bygget i Jeddah påvirket af italiensk arkitektur og derefter gå forbi den første skole bygget i Saudi. Vi vil også besøge et af kunsthusene og museet, der tilbyder sin unikke lokale kunstsamling og antikviteter.

Visiting the old town Al-Balad is an absolute must if your in Jeddah. Al-Balad has a calm and vibrant atmosphere, and exploring it feels cinematic. My tour guide, Ahmed, was knowledgeable and explained the history of the different areas in Old Jeddah so well. The people were kind and welcoming. The tour is on the pricier side, but it’s worth it, especially if you’re travelling solo.
good vibes in albalad with the amazing buildings and wonderful storys for every meter in jeddah alabal (old town) with the tradional drinks such as karak and homr homr is sour dates
Sara took me on a tour of Al Balad. I learned so much about the old town itself but also about Saudi Arabia and its culture. It was fantastic to be shown round by such a dynamic, knowledgeable Saudi woman
It was an absolute pleasure meeting you, your beautiful spirit was an absolute delight Thank you for your kind words and hoping to see you once again in Jeddah which I'm sure I will :)
This was an excellent tour by Sara and a great introduction to Jeddah's history. Al Balad is a fascinating area and after this tour I ended up going there every evening. Sara took me around and, because she knew many of the people there, managed to get me inside many old houses there to see how they look on the inside. After the tour and during her free time, Sara accompanied me to a number of food outlets to taste local food. The Saudi people are genuinely friendly and helpful. I fully recommend this tour, and for people to visit Jeddah.
Dear Silvano, thank you very much for the great feedback and honestly i enjoyed that day with you, i truly wish to see you again and next time with your son as well :) looking forward for you to explore all Saudi with us and feel free to reach out anytime for anything about Saudi !
Amazing experience in incredible city! Thank you Sara for the tour and adventure! That was excellent also to have a chance to talk to local people, to taste local food.... to feel a bit local ;)) I highly recommend Sara if you're interested in history and culture of Jeddah and KSA being guided by professional and pretty woman ;)
It was an absolute pleasure having you and I had a great time as well Thank you for your super kind words :) Looking forward to having you discover more of Saudi ;)
We organised a trip with Viator and so glad we did. We’d walked around the day before, which was great, but after the formal trip, we’d realised that we’d missed so much. There’s so much to see/experience. The narrow streets, the new builds, the hidden shops, the hidden cafes, the fragrant environment…so much. The mosque welcomed us warmly and couldn’t have been more accommodating. Loved our time here
Im so happy you had a great time and we are looking forward to seeing you in Saudi again and discover other cities with us ;)
What a wonderful tour. Marwa greeted us with a beaming smile (as did most people we met in Jeddah during our week’s stay!) and off we went around Al Balad. Marwa brought the area to life with her knowledge of all the historic buildings - even getting us access to many buildings I’m sure we would have missed exploring independently. 3.5 hours on foot flew by. Thank you so much for showing us such an amazing place. Highly recommended.
You are most welcome, i had a wonderful time myself with you ! it was a fun tour that time passed really fast :) Hope to see you again ! Marwa
An abandoned space that is now undergoing a re-qualification with quite relevant tourist objectives. Despite the ruined buildings, the charm and beauty remain alive.
Sara our guide seemed to know everything and everyone in Jeddah. So friendly and open. Answered all our questions including the ones we did not think to ask.
My brother and I did this tour as an add on to to our Umrah (pilgrimage), and I'm so glad we did. This was an amazing tour and the history of old Jeddah is so interesting. Sara was a brilliant guide- she was very engaging, informative and flexible to our needs and interests. I would highly recommend this tour!
