Great Tour - Muhammad communicated with us prior to the tour & picked us up promptly from hotel. He is knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a lot about Al Balad and its historical buildings. He also was thoughtful to provide us with snacks and drinks. We were looked after well and enjoyed the tour very much. Highly recommend him for your stay in Jeddah.
