6 hours

Explore Historic Jeddah, also known as Al Balad, one of Saudi Arabia's six UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Head over to a designated area in Al Balad to get a makeup artist to doll you up and try on traditional Hijazi dresses to get the complete local experience. Men can try on the thobe and the agal, while women can enjoy the regal elegance of the Hijazi outfit and veil. Immerse yourself in the culture and heritage to get a taste of the Saudi way of life with this tour. Pay a visit to some iconic old houses in the district, such as the popular Beit Saloum, Baashen House and Matbouli House and marvel at the unique architecture where you can take pictures of yourself in your stunning dresses with your phone. Pass by Nasseef House and take more photos to capture these special moments before making your way to the market on Gabel Street to check out exotic local products and shop for souvenirs. You have free time to stop by food trucks and enjoy a delicious lunch at your own expense before calling it a day.
