This morning, your day starts with a visit to the Tayebat Museum. This privately owned museum spans four floors and features a diverse range of exhibits, including pre-Islamic artifacts, exquisite Islamic manuscripts, old coins, weaponry, furniture, pottery, and traditional Saudi dress.
After the museum visit, continue your Saudi trip with Memphis Tours by visiting the Jeddah Open Museum. This museum boasts one of the largest collections of models and is situated in a picturesque area on the new corniche, offering plenty of picnic options. You'll also see the 'floating mosque,' which appears to drift on the water's surface, shimmering in the sunlight. Take a moment to appreciate the spectacular views over the Red Sea.
Next, explore King Fahd's Fountain, also known as Jeddah Fountain. It is the tallest of its type in the world, shooting salt water from the Red Sea 300 meters up into the air at speeds over 300 kilometers per hour.
Later, you'll be led to Jeddah's traditional architecture in Al-Balad (Old Town). Here, you'll visit some of the old Ottoman houses constructed from coral and reinforced with wooden beams. One of the highlights is Nasif House, built in the 1850s by the influential Nasif Family, known for their significant trading history in Jeddah.
