After you arrive in Jeddah and go through customs and immigration, we will meet and greet you at the airport, provide you with private transportation to the hotel, and ensure that you have everything that you need to get settled in.

On this optional tour of Jeddah, you get an authentic taste of local and Islamic history in the Old City of Jeddah (al Balad). A UNESCO World Heritage Site, al Balad was founded in the 600s AD, and it is rich with 500-year-old buildings, Umayyad, Abbasid, and Ottoman-era architectural designs, cultural centers, and museums.

Alongside discovering Islamic and local history at the al Balad, you will spend the day at the Jeddah Corniche. As you walk along the beautiful and scenic coast of the Red Sea, you can choose between many types of authentic cuisines to satisfy your taste buds and a variety of local and designer stores to shop at. To top it all off with a taste of luxury, the astonishing Jeddah Yacht Club is located right on the Marina for you to admire.

After having breakfast, you may choose to embark on an optional day trip to Medina. Here, we take you to the airport station for the morning bullet train from Jeddah to Medina. The trip is approximately 2-hours long.

Medinah was the first capital of Islam (622-661 AD) and is home to the Mosque of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH), the second holiest site in Islam. During the trip, you will view the mosque from the outside and enjoy lunch at one of the adjacent areas. If the time allows, you may also visit Uhud Mountain, the site of one of the most well-known battles in the history of Islam.

In the late afternoon/early evening, your tour guide will take you to the train station for your trip back to Jeddah. When you arrive in Jeddah, we will pick you up and take you to your hotel.

Start the day with a complementary breakfast at your hotel, and enjoy an open afternoon at your leisure. In the late afternoon (or earlier - based on your preferences), your driver will pick you up and take you to the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, and they will be available to take you back whenever you are ready to leave.

The Circuit is open throughout the weekend and on race day, and it features a variety of activities and festivities, as well as a food court and an F1 shop.

After having breakfast and checking out, we provide you with transportation to the airport based on your flight's departure time.
