Mr. Mohammed, my tour guide is a local of the old town and is hence extremely knowledgeable of the history and development of AL-Bald. He speak very good English and his vivid account of life in the old town past and present really painted a very colourful picture of Jeddah’s rich heritage. The weather was blissful and wasn’t too hot as we started in the late afternoon. By the time the tour ended it was getting dark and the atmosphere with all the illumination and light from houses and shops was absolutely charming. I travelled solo and was initially a bit worried. But my guide made me feel as though I was travelling with a friend or relative. I felt at ease and safe, and very much want to as I write now to reciprocate his hospitality one day should Mr. Mohammed visits Japan.
