This is a wonderful experience to know the history of Jeddah. My husband loved it, our guide Mohammed was wonderful, and very informative. He explained the history of the city and had pictures to show us. I and my husband also learned how the alliance between the USA and Saudi Arabia began in the 1940’s.

I booked this tour super last minute, because I had a full day to explore Jeddah and my original guide canceled on me because of the F1 event. I am so happy that I picked this trip! Mohammed (aka Gari) was my guide and he was so incredible! He went super out of his way to explain the history of not just the sites we went to, but of Saudi. This was such an amazing experience because I was so curious to learn about the country and he taught me so much! He is very passionate and it shows with his level of expertise and knowledge. It was a completely immersive experience as well. Not only did we tour all the important sites, but I got to try unique foods that are native and authentic to the region. I truly can't say enough good things about this tour and the specific operator I was connected with. If you are coming to Jeddah this is a MUST DO. If you can book Gari as your guide, you won't regret it! I will always remember my time in Jeddah because of his insane hospitality thru out the tour and all the unique and amazing things I learned during this tour!

Gari's Full Day Guided Jeddah City Tour was exceptional. His expertise was evident as he effortlessly led me through the city, sharing insightful knowledge across various subjects including history, religion, geography, and politics. His kindness and friendliness created a warm atmosphere, and his offer of a ride to the Red Sea Mall at the end of the tour was very thoughtful. With little prior knowledge about Saudi Arabia and Islam, I left the tour with a newfound appreciation for the country and its people. Gari's tour is highly recommended for anyone seeking to explore and understand the vibrant city of Jeddah.
Highly recommended guided day tour

If you want to get the most out of your time in Jeddah, the well-prepared guided day tour with Mohammed is a must-do. In what we felt to be a perfect combination of driving you from one place to the next, strolling around with you in some of the places and leaving some free time for individual exploration, Mohammed will show you both the newest and the oldest parts of this bustling city, giving you a lot of interesting historical and cultural background information. In addition to all the cultural highlights, his fish restaurant recommendation for dinner provided us with an extraordinary culinary experience after the tour had finished. Thank you so much for a wonderful day in Jeddah, Mohammed! We highly recommend this well-thought through activity.
Highly recommended

Would like express big thanks to my guide Mohammed (Gari) for taking me through wonderful tour in Jeddah, and sharing his knowledge not only of the city and its history but also of history of Saudi Arabia, habits and traditions of its people. And specifically in relation to local food and cuisine. Next time I am in Jeddah we will take a food tour as promised!
