6-Day Saudi Arabia Tour: Jeddah and AlUla Exploration

Start your day with a fascinating exploration of Jeddah’s historical treasures on your 6-Day Saudi Arabia tour. First, visit the Tayebat Museum, a privately owned four-floor collection showcasing a wide range of artifacts, from pre-Islamic items and stunning Islamic manuscripts to old coins, weaponry, and traditional Saudi dress.

Now go to the Jeddah Open Museum, home to a vast collection of stunning renderings of life, set to complement the beautiful new corniche. Enjoy the serene environment of the open-air museum.

Continue your adventure with a visit to the Floating Mosque, which appears to glide over the water, shimmering under the sunlight. Don’t forget to pause for a moment to admire the stunning views of the Red Sea.

Next, you'll discover one of the tallest fountains in the world—King Fahd's Fountain (Jeddah Fountain), which shoots salt water 300 meters high at speeds exceeding 300 km/h. It's an unforgettable sight!

Complete your Jeddah tour visit with a trip to Al-Balad (Old Town) to witness traditional Jeddah architecture. Stroll through the narrow streets and view beautiful houses like Nasif House, the residence constructed in 1850 by the notable Nasif family. These coral-and-timber houses provide an insight into the gloriously active commercial past of Jeddah. After a day filled with culture and exploration, return to your hotel for a well-deserved rest.

Begin the third day of your unforgettable AlUla Tours adventure with a morning transfer from your hotel in Jeddah to the sacred city of Madinah. Upon arrival, your private guide from Best Destination will accompany you on a fascinating Saudi Arabia tour through the city's highlights. Go on your journey at the International Exhibition and Museum for the Biography of the Prophet and Islamic Civilization, a powerful tribute to Islamic history and culture. Continue walking up Quba Street, a historical thoroughfare that connects two major mosques, the Prophet's Mosque and the Quba Mosque. Even non-Muslims will not be allowed to go inside these mosques, so you’ll only have the exterior to appreciate.

Next comes the Taiba Market, a wildlife-like traditional market abounded with local treasures.

Begin your day with breakfast at the hotel before heading on the immersive AlUla Tour to explore one of the most cherished cultural heritages of Saudi Arabia, Madain Saleh, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located on a major trading route, the ancient Nabataean city- also called Al-Hegra-stretches an area over 2,000 square meters with rock-cut tombs and artifacts from a previous civilization.

Your expert guide will take you through the highlights of this fascinating site, offering deep insight into Nabataean history and culture:

Qasr Al-Farid (The Lonely Castle)

Marvel at the iconic and solitary tomb of Qasr Al - Farid — though unfinished, its sheer size and intricate facade make it one of the most striking features of Madain Saleh, almost perfect for beautiful dawn or sunset light from a photographer's point of view.

Jabal Al-Ahmar (The Red Mountain)

Enjoying the red sandstone, and explore over 18 tombs with clear inscriptions, all of which belong to noble Nabataean families and provide a look into their rather lavish burial rites.

Jabal Al-Banat (Mountain of the Daughters)

This impressive site holds more than 30 elaborately carved tombs believed to be linked to noble Nabataean women, showcasing their societal importance and artistic traditions.

Diwan & Jabal Ithlib

Visit Jabal Ithlib to see the ceremonial heart of the Nabataeans. At this point, you will discover the Diwan, a cavity chiseled out of the rock and used for spiritual and political assemblages. Walking through a small gorge similar to that of Petra’s Siq links between ceremonial and ancient procession and ritual paths.

Enjoying lunch at a local restaurant amid this cultural journey, if time still allows, begin a trip to Harrat Uairedh. This volcanic oasis provides magnificent views of the dramatic desert landscape of AlUla.

The tour to Al-Ula continues after breakfast with a journey further back into Saudi Arabia's ancient history. As part of your 6-Day Saudi Arabia Tour, visit two of the area's most noteworthy World Heritage sites — Dadan and Jabal Ikmah — on this unforgettable Middle East tour.

Jabal Ikmah, often dubbed as the "open-air library", constitutes the highest concentration of ancient rock inscriptions in the entirety of the AlUla region, giving a rare glimpse into the lives, languages, and beliefs of ancient civilisations. next, delve into the archaeological marvels of Old Dadan (site of the Tombs of the Lihyanite Kings) within the walled city of Dadan in the vicinity of site Bateel Dadan, former capitals of Dadanite and Lihyanite Kingdoms, which date back to the 9th to 8th centuries BCE.

Be amazed by more than a dozen tombs carved into dramatic crimson cliffs, including the famous Lion Tombs – featuring sculptures of lions representing the final resting places of elite figures in ancient society.

When visiting AlUla Old Town in the afternoon, one may enjoy the calm and beauty of the heritage, oasis landscape decorated with farmlands. This beautiful scenery beckons us to engage in authentic traditions and ways of daily living in this region.

Your day in Saudi Arabia ends at Elephant Rock, one of Alula's most iconic natural landmarks. This massive rock formation resembles strikingly an elephant stretching its trunk to touch the sand of the desert below. The rock formation is indeed a wondrous thing for Saudi Arabian vacations.
