Excursion Dine like a local tour at Jeddah

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Al Balad, which refers to the "Historical District" in Jeddah, was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014. Some would describe it as an interactive open-air museum of sorts. Al Balad strives to preserve the history of old Jeddah, whether in its architecture, alleyways, or marketplace. No doubt, it has a distinctive charm to it, especially at night. Take a short ride to Al Balad for a walking orientation walk of the old houses. Proceed by bus to one of the most old restaurants where local families are used to meet for a traditional dinner.
