After breakfast, begin your Jeddah tour with a visit to the Tayebat Museum, a privately owned, four-story collection showcasing an impressive range of exhibits — from pre-Islamic artifacts and exquisite Islamic manuscripts to ancient coins, weaponry, stunning furniture, pottery, and traditional Saudi attire.

Continue to the Jeddah Open Museum, home to one of the largest collections of outdoor sculptures, set in a scenic area along the new Corniche — perfect for leisurely strolls and picnics.

You’ll also visit the Floating Mosque, a striking structure that appears to drift atop the waters of the Red Sea, shimmering beautifully under the sunlight. Take a moment to enjoy the breathtaking coastal views.

Next, marvel at the King Fahd Fountain — also known as the Jeddah Fountain — the tallest of its kind in the world, propelling saltwater 300 meters into the air at speeds exceeding 300 kilometers per hour.

The tour continues in Al-Balad (Old Town), where you’ll explore the heart of Jeddah’s traditional architecture. Visit some of the historic houses built from coral stone and reinforced with wooden beams, including the famed Nasif House, constructed in the 1850s by the influential Nasif trading family.

After the tour, return to your hotel for overnight stay in Jeddah.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Day 4: AlUla Tour After breakfast at the hotel, embark on an unforgettable journey to explore the awe-inspiring wonders of Madain Saleh, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Once known as Al-Hegra, this ancient city was a vital stop along lucrative trade routes and is spread across a vast area of 2,000 square meters, filled with magnificent rock-carved tombs and remnants of Nabataean civilization. As you explore, don’t miss these iconic sites: Qasr Al-Farid (“The Lonely Castle”) Standing isolated in the desert, Qasr Al-Farid is Hegra’s most iconic and largest tomb, notable for its majestic but unfinished facade. Your guide will share insights into Nabataean burial traditions and the remarkable skill involved in carving directly into sandstone cliffs. This site is ideal for photography, especially at sunrise or sunset. Jabal Al-Ahmar (“The Red Mountain”) Known for its reddish sandstone formations, Jabal Al-Ahmar features over 18 tombs adorned with well-preserved inscriptions and intricate carvings. These tombs belonged to high-ranking Nabataean families, offering a glimpse into their social hierarchy and funerary practices. Jabal Al-Banat (“Mountain of the Daughters”) This impressive cluster of more than 30 tombs is believed to have been commissioned by elite Nabataean women, highlighting their influential role in society. The facades are richly decorated with Nabataean symbols and Thamudic inscriptions, telling stories from a distant past. Diwan & Jabal Ithlib – The Nabataean Meeting Place Jabal Ithlib, regarded as a sacred mountain, served as a venue for religious ceremonies and gatherings. Visit the Diwan, a rock-cut hall that once hosted Nabataean leaders and merchants discussing trade, governance, and spiritual matters. A short walk from the Diwan leads you through a narrow passageway, reminiscent of Petra’s famous Siq, used for important ceremonial processions. After your morning of discovery, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. If time permits, continue to Harrat Uairedh, located at one of the highest points in AlUla. From here, take in breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes — a perfect way to end your day. Afterwards, return to AlUla for a restful overnight stay at your hotel.
