Have you ever walked through a street and felt like you've travelled back in time?

That's exactly what Al-Balad does to you. Tucked inside the heart of old Jeddah, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is a living, breathing piece of history that most tourists never get to truly experience. On this guided walking tour, you'll wander through ancient neighbourhoods known as harrat, pass through centuries-old souqs still buzzing with life, and stand in front of towering coral-stone buildings that merchants built with their own wealth in the late 19th century. Every carved wooden window, every narrow alley, every faded wall has a storey and your guide will make sure you hear all of them. From the Red Sea's coastal building traditions to the cultural influences that poured in along the old trade routes, Al-Balad is Jeddah's best kept secret hiding in plain sight. Book your walking tour and let the old city tell you its storey.
