Jeddah, a vibrant city shaped over centuries, offers world-class heritage and architecture recognized by UNESCO.
Since the 1st century AH, when the Red Sea port was moved to Jeddah, the city has become the gateway to the Holy Mosques and a crossroads of global cultures.
We begin our tour at Bab Al-Farada, in the heart of the old market, where every alley holds a story.
Throughout the tour, we visit 10 major heritage sites, including historic gates, ancient mosques, traditional souqs, and beautifully preserved Hijazi houses.
Walk through narrow lanes once traveled by merchants and pilgrims, and explore the grand homes of Jeddah’s notable families.
