Overview

When was the last time you walked through a city alive since the 7th century?

Welcome to Al-Balad Historic Jeddah. Long before it became the royal seaport for Makkah in 657 AD, this Red Sea coastline was already drawing traders, pilgrims, and merchants from across the world. Al-Balad which simply means “The Town” still carries all of that history in its coral-stone walls, winding alleyways, and ancient souqs that have been buzzing for over a thousand years. On this heritage tour, you'll explore the old neighbourhoods on foot, hear the stories behind Jeddah's most iconic landmarks, sample authentic traditional dishes, and lose yourself in the colour of the old bazaar. This is Jeddah the way it was always meant to be experienced. Book your spot and step into a city that time forgot to leave behind.
