Your guide is a licensed local tour guide based in Jeddah, specialized in Historic Jeddah (Al-Balad), a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
I don’t just “show places”, I tell the stories behind them: the old merchant houses, rawasheen (wooden balconies), hidden alleys, traditional markets, and the Red Sea trade routes that shaped the city. Expect a relaxed, well-paced walk with great photo spots, cultural insights, and optional stops for authentic Hijazi street food and local drinks.
At the end of the tour, you will drink a great cup of tea in one of the coolest spots while enjoying a live traditional music performance on the lute, played by your humble guide.
If you want a friendly, professional experience that feels like exploring Al-Balad with a knowledgeable local, I’d love to guide you. Let’s make your Jeddah visit unforgettable.
