If you are visiting Jeddah, wanting to learn about the people and the culture, have open discussions and spend an evening with a great guide, Sami is your man! He was incredible from day one, answering all our questions prior to departure, picking us up at our hotel and even giving us recommendations tje next day for places I could go visit. Thank you for making us feel so welcomed!
Sami is a great guide and the tour was a wonderful experience as we learned and experienced the true sense of Saudia Arabia Thank you Sami it was a pleasure
Sami you are the best 💓💓💓 Very friendly and professional
I just wanted to share how grateful I am for the beautiful time we spent in Jeddah during our tour through old city. It truly meant a lot to us. Showing us around, exchanging small but significant stories to understand city, people and culture, and experiencing the beauty of this place together felt very special. Guide positive energy, genuine curiosity, and kind spirit made the tour unforgettable for me and my wife. We carry these moments with us as wonderful memories that stay close to our heart. Going from Riyadh to Abha and Jeddah - this city is something special. Finally: Jeddah - I hope - that we will come back one day and we will be happy to meet friends along old streets of that amazing city. I know we will be welcomed with open arms.
What a perfect day! Sami was incredible. Knowledgeable, funny, kind, patient and took us to all the places. We loved walking around the old town and feeling the vibe of the city. The evening brought out all the people and that changed the atmosphere of the city. Highly recommend this tour and this guide!
Yesterday, my wife and I joined the private guided tour in Jeddah with Sami. What an experience! So much interesting information, from history to modern reality, stories, visits to places hidden from the casual visitor, experiencing the city's evening pulse, learning about the foundations of Islam in the mosque... and how it lives in practice. Above all, the open, humanly warm atmosphere that Sami knows how to establish. Without exaggeration, one of the highlights of our visit to Saudi Arabia! We warmly recommend it! Thank you again, Sami.
My wife and I had the opportunity to visit Jeddah and have a tour led by Sami. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to answer any questions we had. We very much enjoyed our time with him and highly recommend others to book a tour with him also.
