CARBON REDUCTIONLunch at Najd Village features locally sourced ingredients, reducing transport emissions, while supporting traditional Saudi cuisine.
Exploring Souk Al Zal on foot not only reduces carbon impact but also helps keep the market’s cultural ecosystem alive by supporting small-scale merchants.
The journey to Jeddah is necessary by plane, but once there, activities are concentrated in key areas, like the new waterfront and UNESCO-listed Al Balad, to limit unnecessary transportation. Dining at traditional restaurants supports local farmers and fishermen, while walking through historic districts reduces environmental impact.
We can accommodate both vegetarians and vegans. We work with restaurants and hotels to ensure suitable meal options are available, and our team is happy to make special arrangements if notified in advance.
ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE
Day two begins with visits to historically significant sites such as Ad Diriyah and Masmak Fort, where guided tours follow heritage preservation guidelines to protect fragile structures.
People
LOCAL ECONOMYThis itinerary is designed to connect you with the stories, traditions, and hospitality of Saudi Arabia. We prioritize using locally owned and managed hotels and boutique accommodations wherever possible. This allows our guests to experience authentic Saudi hospitality while ensuring that tourism revenue directly supports local communities.
Meals at local restaurants provide authentic flavors while supporting family-run businesses. Every encounter — from guides to market vendors — invites conversation, fostering a deeper appreciation for the people who keep these traditions alive.
We encourage our guests to dine at family-run restaurants that serve traditional Saudi cuisine and to shop from local artisans in souks. For example, we often recommend local handicraft shops in Riyadh and Jeddah where visitors can purchase traditional clothing, perfumes, and handmade souvenirs.
EMPLOYMENT INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY
We employ licensed local Saudi guides who have in-depth knowledge of the culture, history, and traditions. All guides and support staff are paid fair wages in line with local tourism industry standards.
Over 80% of the staff involved in our Saudi tours are Saudi nationals, including guides, drivers, and on-ground coordinators.
