Enjoyable half day trip

Interesting half day tour. Khuram was our guide and gave interesting facts through out the tour. We drove around and also walked some of the time and were able to view the things we wanted in the old town and museum. I enjoyed the trip.

good driver/guide but the...

good driver/guide but the tour was too fast we passed by several attractions but we never stopped. The visit to the Museum was very nice because the guide was from the Museum and therefore it can be done comfortably with a taxi. They dropped us off at Al Balad they gave us a map and an hour to then meet (they gave us the photo) at a meeting point. An hour is absolutely not enough to see the neighborhood which is magnificent and then return to the hotel.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear that you appreciated the driver and guide, as well as the museum visit. However, we sincerely regret that the tour felt too rushed and that there wasn’t enough time to fully explore Al Balad. We understand that this historic neighborhood deserves more time to truly appreciate its charm and atmosphere. Your input is invaluable, and we will take it into consideration as we work to refine our itineraries for a better experience. If you have any further suggestions or if there’s anything we can do to make it up to you, please feel free to reach out at assistance24@grayline.ae. Safe Travels, Grayline

The old charming city of Jeddah

The half day tour in the old city of Al-Balad was great! Many houses are still under renovation and a few were refinished. We had Mohammed as our tourguide and he gave us many information about the place. In the old city there is also a small Suq, which you can find some souvenirs. I can recommend this tour to anyone.
