A late-afternoon breeze off the Red Sea carries salt and the faint clatter of fishing boats as the tour vehicle eases through Jeddah’s modern spine. Guests step first into Fakieh Aquarium’s cooled galleries, where neon reef fish and a slow-moving green turtle drift against a backdrop of coral anatomy, then roll into the narrow alleys of Al-Balad where coral-stone houses lean above bustling souks.
