Itinerario
Esta es una experiencia de medio día para recorrer Al Balad como lo llaman los locales, que significa "la ciudad" como referencia a la base de Jeddah. Al-Balad fue fundada en el siglo VII e históricamente sirvió como el centro de Jeddah. Las murallas defensivas de Al-Balad fueron derribadas en la década de 1940. En las décadas de 1970 y 1980, cuando Jeddah comenzó a enriquecerse debido al auge del petróleo, muchos Jeddawis se mudaron al norte, lejos de Al-Balad. Al Balad está registrado como patrimonio mundial de la UNISCO y, desde entonces, los edificios antiguos con sus diseños de ventanas y puertas únicos se están conservando junto con sus edificios únicos que algunos han sido construidos con conchas marinas y piedras. Los antiguos edificios albergaron una vez a las famosas familias de Jeddah y albergaron al fundador, el difunto rey Abdulaziz, cuando entró por primera vez en Jeddah. Nuestro recorrido recorrerá la historia de estos edificios, incluido el interior de uno de los edificios para ver los diseños de interiores, los muebles y la vida en ese entonces.
Las antiguas mezquitas son otra atracción turística donde algunas fueron fundadas hace más de 300 años y aún funcionan como mezquita. El principal atractivo de este recorrido es la comida y los bocadillos de Al Balad, donde pasaremos por algunos vendedores famosos conocidos por ofrecer los mejores bocadillos locales, como la bebida local hecha de pan "Sobia" y la antigua panadería, que es famosa por sus productos frescos. un pan. Otro bocadillo local que consiste en frijoles y encurtidos “Balilah”. Haremos una parada para descansar en uno de los lugares de café al aire libre y probaremos el famoso té local mezclado con leche y hierbas. Nos trasladaremos para visitar el centro de Al Balad para ver el primer hotel construido en Jeddah influenciado por la arquitectura italiana y luego pasar por la primera escuela construida en Arabia Saudita. También visitaremos una de las casas de arte y el museo que ofrece su colección única de arte local y antigüedades.

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!
