Serving as the gateway for Muslim pilgrims arriving by sea to Mecca, Jeddah holds a pivotal role in the cultural and economic tapestry of Saudi Arabia. Begin your day with a visit to the Abdul Raouf Khalil Museum, a treasure trove showcasing the local and Arabian heritage. Dive into the heart of Jeddah's history by exploring Al-Balad, the Old Town designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014.

Some of these houses, dating back more than 400 years, offer a glimpse into the city's architectural evolution.

Conclude your exploration with a scenic drive to the Jeddah Corniche, a 30 km coastal resort area nestled along the Red Sea.

Breakfast at the hotel. We advise you to drive up the Sarawat Mountain Range today, which stretches from Yemen to Jordan along the Arabian Peninsula's western edge. After driving beyond the summit, which peaks at almost 2000 meters above sea level, you will go eastward in the direction of Taif. Because of its elevation over 1600 meters, this city experiences lower temperatures. In the summer, visitors are drawn to the area by its verdant surroundings, pleasant weather, stunning landscape, and laid-back vibe.

Begin with a drive while taking in the breathtaking sweeping panorama of Al Hada Mountain. Visit a Taif-only location in the afternoon, a rose factory where locals harvest roses to produce some of the best rose scents on the planet. The Sharif Museum brings the tour to a close.
