About this activity

Step back in time with a visit to Historic Jeddah — locally known as “Al-Balad.” Nestled in the heart of the city, this UNESCO-listed district offers a captivating journey through centuries of culture and heritage. Believed by some to date back to pre-Islamic times, Historic Jeddah rose to prominence in 647 AD (26 AH) when Caliph Uthman ibn Affan declared it the official port of Makkah. Wander its charming alleyways, explore its timeless architecture, and uncover the rich stories behind its iconic landmarks — every corner has a tale to tell.
