Arrangements will be made to meet and provide assistance at Jeddah International Airport. From there, you will be transferred to your hotel in Jeddah for an overnight stay.

This morning, we will begin by exploring the Tayebat Museum, a privately owned collection spread across four floors. The museum showcases a wide range of artifacts, including pre-Islamic relics, exquisite Islamic manuscripts, ancient coins and weapons, as well as stunning furniture, pottery, and traditional Saudi attire. Afterward, we will visit the Jeddah Open Museum, which boasts one of the largest collections of models. Nestled in a picturesque area along the new corniche, it offers plenty of picnic spots for relaxation.

During our tour, we will also have the opportunity to admire the floating mosque. This architectural marvel appears to float on the water's surface, shimmering under the sunlight. Take a moment to absorb the breathtaking views of the Red Sea. Our next stop will be the King Fahd Fountain, also known as the Jeddah Fountain. It holds the distinction of being the tallest fountain of its kind in the world. Shooting saltwater from the Red Sea up to 300 meters into the air at speeds exceeding 300 kilometers per hour, it is truly a sight to behold.

Lastly, we will delve into Jeddah's rich history by exploring its traditional architecture in the Al-Balad (Old Town) area. Here, we will visit some of the old Ottoman houses that were constructed using coral and reinforced with wooden beams. One notable house is Nasif House, which was built in 1850 by the influential Nasif Family, known for their significant role in Jeddah's trading history. After a day filled with exploration and discovery, we will return to our hotel in Jeddah for an overnight stay.
