Best guide in Jeddah - Sami was the highlight of our trip to Jeddah. He showed us all around the historic areas and was so much fun to talk to. He took us to hidden nooks we’d have never found on our own. He is hilarious and kind and by the end we felt like friends. He is honestly the reason why we enjoyed Jeddah so much. He is a wonderful ambassador for Saudi Arabia and we highly recommend him for anyone visiting Jeddah.

Super helpful guide - Very friendly and helpful guide. Immediately after booking your, Sami reached out on WhatsApp and offered himself as a resource. He helped answer many questions and helped us plan our itinerary for our whole trip to Saudi Arabia. It turned out we couldn’t make the private Jeddah tour since our local friends insisted on showing us. However, local friends didn’t seem to know as much as him, eg mot letting me enter the floating mosque. I regret not getting to do the tour of Jeddah with Sami this time. Hopefully in the future! Very helpful and personable and highly recommend.

Al Balad - A Great Experience on Short Notice - Shout out to Sami and his staff, Haya (and friend Mawdah). I reached out for a last minute tour of Al Balad. Sami wasn't able to prepare and do the tour, but he connected me with Haya, one of his team members. I had an incredible experience with Haya (and Mawdah) as they guided me through the streets of Al Balad. They also helped me shop for Saudi gifts and shared a meal of Kebda and Balila. It was a great experience and I'll certainly be connecting with them once more, for my upcoming visits to Jeddah.

A new friend in Saudi - I had a great tour around the city. It felt like Sami was a friend showing me around town. I loved the outdoor art exhibition, and trying camel milk in the historic district. Wish I had more time to explore more of the city, one day was not enough.

Amazing experience - Sami is an amazing tour guide. He is a great communicator and can customize a tour around your schedule. I could not recommend him more. He is an expert guide for Jeddah, Mecca and all major sites in Saudi Arabia.

Perfect Experience - This is an AMAZING tour guide and wonderful experience. I have been on dozens of tours around the world and can honestly say that Sami is simply the best. His knowledge, care and kindness really make for a pleasant experience. His tours of Jeddah and Mecca are personalized, interesting and educational. He is very flexible and is happy to change things to suit your needs. His English and Arabic are perfect. I highly recommend his services for your visit to beautiful Saudi Arabia.

Questionable behaviour - I booked this tour more than a month in advance, even though the tour operator had no reviews at the time. In fact, the operator got in touch promptly and asked me several times later when I would be staying. Then the guide wrote to me 1.5 days beforehand to say that he could not run the tour because his "work roster had apparently changed". He offered me a different date, for which I offered a pick-up time of 10 a.m. due to a night flight, which was at least a compromise given my two-day stay. The guide then cancelled the tour and assured me that he would find me someone else. I asked again and received no response. So I could not find a tour for the only day that met my expectations, let alone in the price category. The tour operator was still offering this tour on the day I had booked, but 80 Saudi Riyals more expensive. Coincidence? In any case, this behavior towards tourists is more than questionable, which caused me unnecessary stress during my stay in Jeddah.
