Description

You will be baffled by the beauty and the various destinations you'll be visiting. Be prepared to engage all your senses to make the most out of your trip to this charming city.
1- Al Tayebat Museum will offer you a fascinating look into Jeddah’s long and cosmopolitan past for a superbly curated representation of the city’s 3,000-year history.
The museum is housed in a multiroom complex that re-creates the traditional Hijazi architecture of the old city, with bay windows overlaid with intricate wooden latticework and ornate coral masonry.
With several floors of in-depth exhibits, the museum offers a living history lesson on the foundation of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and the wider Arabian Peninsula. There is also an entire floor dedicated to the city’s rich Islamic heritage.

2- Explore the area registered in the UNESCO World Heritage the most fascinating site in Jeddah. You will engage yourself in the authentic experience of local culture, heritage, history, and arts. You will walk through the surreal architecture of the buildings, and the spirit-reviving markets, and pass through the landmarks of the site such as the gate of Madinah, Masjid Alshafei, Bedouin market, Dahab Street, and much more. You will be visiting the House of Baeshin, Salom House, and Matbuly Hose to explore the local artifacts and exhibits and have an unforgettable time shopping, buying souvenirs, and relaxing at the local cafes and recreational spaces.

3-Along the waterfront, you will feast your eyes on the unique artistic sculptures that chose Jeddah above others to be its home. Marvel at extraordinary works by legendary artists such as “Henry Moore” “Jean Miró” and "Julio Lafuente" just as if you’ve received a free ticket to visit an open sea museum.
You will see many attractions during this tour such as the Jeddah Sign, the Guinness World Records Fountain,• The Royal State Palace, the Formula 1 track, the Glop roundabout, Floating Mousq, and much more.

4-The Central Fish Market comes to life at daybreak, selling row upon row of colorful produce fresh from the sea. As the sun rises over the coast, watch fishermen offload their hauls onto over 100 stalls, as buyers jostle to bid on the widest selection of fish in Saudi Arabia. Visitors looking to try this noisy, immersive experience will enjoy the full-service offering that sees fish cleaned, prepped, and cooked just hours after being caught. But the good-natured din and vibrant array of fresh catches – not to mention the port’s fascinating role in Jeddah’s history – make the market a photogenic feast even if you’re not eating.
