Have you ever strolled through a city that has thrived since the 7th century?

Welcome to Al-Balad Historic Jeddah. Even before it became the royal seaport for Makkah in 657 AD, this Red Sea coastline was already attracting traders, pilgrims, and merchants from around the globe. Al-Balad, meaning “The Town,” still retains all of that history within its coral-stone walls, winding alleyways, and ancient souqs that have been bustling for over a millennium. On this heritage tour, participants will explore the old neighborhoods on foot, learn the stories behind Jeddah’s most iconic landmarks, taste authentic traditional dishes, and immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere of the old bazaar. This is Jeddah as it was always meant to be experienced. Reserve your spot and step into a city that time has preserved.
