Professional and welcoming
Mohammad speaks clear English and made our 8 hour tour of Jeddah feel safe and personalized. My son and I learned all about the history and culture of the area. If you are only in Jeddah for a short time, like with a long layover, Saudia Arabia offers an easy visa option at the airport (VoA), visa on arrival. This short visit showed me that coming back to Saudia Arabia for a long visit would be a welcoming safe experience. Most visitors seem to be doing their pilgrimage but I recommend visiting for the cultural experience. Saudia Arabia is a welcoming country. It is a very safe place if you follow local customes or expectations. Such a friendly place.

For my husband who loves history this was a 10/10. If you love culture and history I would highly recommend it.
This is a wonderful experience to know the history of Jeddah. My husband loved it, our guide Mohammed was wonderful, and very informative. He explained the history of the city and had pictures to show us. I and my husband also learned how the alliance between the USA and Saudi Arabia began in the 1940’s.

12/10 Recommend (Gari is the best!)
I booked this tour super last minute, because I had a full day to explore Jeddah and my original guide canceled on me because of the F1 event. I am so happy that I picked this trip! Mohammed (aka Gari) was my guide and he was so incredible! He went super out of his way to explain the history of not just the sites we went to, but of Saudi. This was such an amazing experience because I was so curious to learn about the country and he taught me so much! He is very passionate and it shows with his level of expertise and knowledge. It was a completely immersive experience as well. Not only did we tour all the important sites, but I got to try unique foods that are native and authentic to the region. I truly can't say enough good things about this tour and the specific operator I was connected with. If you are coming to Jeddah this is a MUST DO. If you can book Gari as your guide, you won't regret it! I will always remember my time in Jeddah because of his insane hospitality thru out the tour and all the unique and amazing things I learned during this tour!

Enriching Experience
Gari's Full Day Guided Jeddah City Tour was exceptional. His expertise was evident as he effortlessly led me through the city, sharing insightful knowledge across various subjects including history, religion, geography, and politics. His kindness and friendliness created a warm atmosphere, and his offer of a ride to the Red Sea Mall at the end of the tour was very thoughtful. With little prior knowledge about Saudi Arabia and Islam, I left the tour with a newfound appreciation for the country and its people. Gari's tour is highly recommended for anyone seeking to explore and understand the vibrant city of Jeddah.
