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.

The tour was very good and the best part was our Driver cum Guide was knowledgeable and shared his knowledge with us. Pleasant attitude and a friendly person.

It’s always our goal to provide memorable and insightful experiences through the dedication of our team. We hope to welcome you again on another great adventure with Grayline. Safe travels!
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.
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 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.
We saw both old and new Jeddah. Ashi was great and new the best spots to visit, provided good historical context and was overall a great guide.
Dear Joshua, Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that Ashi provided an excellent tour, showcasing both the old and new sides of Jeddah while offering insightful historical context. We'll make sure to pass on your kind words to Ashi. If you plan to explore more in the future, we'd love to welcome you back for another memorable experience!
