Overview

Discover the heart of Jeddah in Al-Balad, the city's most iconic archaeological and heritage district. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2014, Al-Balad offers a unique journey through time, where cultures have intertwined for centuries. On my tour, you'll explore the stunning coral-stone architecture of historic houses, many of which have been transformed into museums, art galleries, and charming coffee shops. But beyond the well-known landmarks, I'll guide you to the hidden gems that only a local can reveal.

Experience the rich history and vibrant culture of Jeddah with a certified guide deeply connected to this remarkable city. My deep roots in the region, combined with my local expertise, allow me to bring the stories of Al-Balad to life. Join me for an unforgettable exploration of this timeless district, where the echoes of the past blend seamlessly with the energy of the present, uncovering the true essence of Jeddah.
