MSC Splendida

With colourful artwork, oriental scents and traditional architecture, there is no better place than Jeddah to discover the rich and vibrant culture of Saudi Arabia. Leave the port and begin a journey through the streets of old Jeddah, a unique experience involving all senses. Your guide will take you to the streets of the old town, Al Balad, a UNESCO's heritage site with its many streets and hidden jewels. Founded in the 7th century, Al Balad was the core of the city until locals began to move to other districts of the city due to the growth of wealth of Jeddah. You will discover the old market and marvel at Beit Nassif historical house with its 106 rooms filled with admirable artwork and traditional furniture. Your sightseeing tour of Jeddah will also include private art galleries and museums on the itinerary to complete this unique experience and have a perfect picture at the City Gate.

The chance to collect photos for your holiday album and discover the beauty of the flora and fauna of the Red Sea while staying dry are just some of the thrills you will experience during this half-day excursion. A coach transfer to Al Balad, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, will allow you to take a few photos at the North Gate, an excellent location to admire and take some shots of the most remarkable examples of traditional Saudi Architecture. Continue with a short sightseeing coach drive through the modern Jeddah and along the Corniche to see the contrast between the modern streets of the new city centre and the traditional district still intact. The second part of the tour is dedicated to the visit of Fakieh Aquarium, the only aquarium in Saudi Arabia. More than two hundred marine animals are found to be here, including some rare species like the green turtles and the dragonfish. The visit is a unique experience that will seduce both adults and children. See the many tanks and feel like you are under the sea while you walk through the undersea tunnel. Magic!

The magnificence of the site of Hegra, in the same spectacular style as Petra, the striking and imposing Elephant Rock and the timeless beauty of the old town of AlUla are the destinations of this full-day excursion. Your tour begins with an unguided an hour coach drive to the airport to board a plane and enjoy an approx. 1-hour flight to AlUla. Your guide will meet you at AlUla airport and will take you on a tour of the extraordinary archaeological site of Hegra. The second most important city of the Nabateans, Hegra was almost unknown in the desert sands for centuries and in 2008 became the first UNESCO site in Saudi Arabia. The guided tour will allow you to discover some of its monuments  there are more than a hundred at the site  and especially the imposing tomb of Lihyan, son of Kuza, 72-feet in height and standing tall, solitary and unfinished in the desert landscape. Continue on to the ancient city of AlUla, situated in a desert setting in the Hijaz mountains and where pilgrims, travellers and permanent settlers have gathered over the centuries. Surrounded by an ancient oasis, the old town of AlUla is dominated by a citadel dating back to the 10th century and has some 900 brick houses, 400 shops and an atmospheric maze of alleyways and squares. A stop for a typical buffet lunch will also allow you to recover your energy before reaching the last leg of the tour. Get your cameras ready because the two monolithic rocks, the "trunk" and the "body", which stand out against the desert backdrop have been shaped over the centuries by the weather into the shape of an elephant. And a selfie in front of the famous Elephant Rock is a must! A unique experience that completes this extraordinary day of discovery of Saudi treasures.

History and ancient civilisations, archaeology and the boundless landscapes of Saudi Arabia's red sand desert are the ingredients of this full-day excursion to two of the country's most important archaeological sites: Hegra and the city of Dadan. Remaining virtually unknown in the Saudi desert for centuries, the city of Hegra became the first site in Saudi Arabia to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008. Also known by the name of Mada'in Salih, Hegra has a very ancient origin, being the second most important city of the Nabateans, after Petra in Jordan, and located in the southern part of their kingdom. Your tour begins with an hour coach drive to the airport to board a plane and enjoy an approx. 2-hour flight to AlUla. Your guide will meet you at AlUla airport and will take you on a tour of the site will give you an idea of the construction skills of the Nabateans at a site that includes more than a hundred monuments. Your guide will show you some of these tombs whose façades are often decorated with mythical figures. Don't miss the tomb of Lihyan, son of Kuza, 72-feet in height and standing tall, solitary, and unfinished in the desert landscape. Also known as the Alfareed Tomb, it will undoubtedly be worth more than a photograph for your memory book. It is in fact one of the iconic monuments of the entire site. After a break at a restaurant for a well-deserved rest and to enjoy a typical buffet lunch, you will continue the tour with a 45-minute drive to another incredible archaeological site, the city of Dadan, capital of the Dadan kingdom in the 4th century BC, built on the ancient incense route with desert stone in the middle of an oasis. Spend about an hour touring this ancient city to discover more than a dozen monuments carved from red desert rock, the most impressive of which is the Tomb of the Lions. Sitting lions, a symbol of power and protection, mark the burial place of the royal family. The tour concludes with the transfer to AlUla airport to board a plane back to Jeddah port and join your ship.

Regarded as the holiest city for the Muslim religion, Makkah is located in the centre of seven hills and will be the destination of this half-day excursion, a unique opportunity for guests of Muslim faith. The birthplace of Mohammed, the prophet and re-founder of Islam, according to the Koran, all those who can physically afford it have a duty to make a pilgrimage to Makkah at least once in their lives. The excursion begins with an hour-long coach journey to one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world and continues with a visit to the Al Masjid Al-Harab Mosque, the largest in the world, with indoor and outdoor prayer spaces. It includes the Ka'ba, the Black Rock, towards which worshippers direct their prayers, and the Zamzam well, a water source miraculously generated by Allah, which sprang up spontaneously thousands of years ago to quench the thirst of Ibrahim's (Abraham) son ?Isma?il (Ishmael) and his mother Hajar (Hagar) in the desert. After the visit, the excursion continues with a panoramic tour of Makkah, now a city of one and a half million inhabitants, before returning to the port.

The red sand of the Saudi desert, the distance from the Saudi capital and the isolation in the mountains meant that Hegra remained almost hidden for centuries. It has only recently come to the spotlight and became the first site in Saudi Arabia to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008. Hegra seems to be lost in the sands of the desert and has an ancient origin. It was the second most important city of the Nabateans, after Petra in Jordan, and was located in the southern part of their kingdom. Today, many agree that this hidden city, whose excavations are still in progress, is as spectacular as Petra. Leave the port, reach the airport to board a plane and reach AlUla airport after an approx. 1-hour flight. Meet your guide at the airport and begin your adventure. The guided tour will give you an idea of the construction skills of the Nabateans at a site that includes more than a hundred monuments. Your guide will show you some of these tombs whose facades are often decorated with mythical figures. Don't miss the tomb of Lihyan, son of Kuza, 72-feet in height and standing tall, solitary, and unfinished in the desert landscape. Also known as the Alfareed Tomb, it will undoubtedly be worth more than a photograph for your memory book and is one of the iconic monuments of the entire site. After the visit, you will reach a restaurant where a typical lunch will be served. Then, get your cameras ready because the two monolithic rocks, the "trunk" and the "body", which stand out against the desert backdrop have been shaped over the centuries by the weather into the shape of an elephant. And a selfie in front of the famous Elephant Rock is a must! The tour concludes with the return flight and with the transfer to the port and the ship.

Jeddah is the perfect place to discover the rich and vibrant culture of Saudi Arabia. Your 4-hour discovery to the second-largest city of the country is a unique sensorial experience and a journey through centuries of culture and traditions. Perceived as the most liberal cities in Saudi Arabia, you will be fascinated not only by its architectural beauty but also by its colourful artwork and oriental scents. A short drive along the Corniche is followed by a guided walk through the streets of the old town, Al Balad, a UNESCO's heritage site with its many streets and hidden jewels. Founded in the 7th century, Al Balad was the core of the city until locals began to move to other districts of the city due to the growth of wealth of Jeddah. It is in this district that you will discover the famous historical palaces, some of which are more than 400 years old and resemble Yemenite houses. You will have a chance to visit one of the ancient houses, Salloum House or Ba'eshen House, and experience the welcome of local hospitality with a treat of dates and Arabic coffee. Enjoy some time exploring the old market with its variety of clothes and textiles and stop for an external view of Beit Nassif, another historical house whose 106 rooms are adorned with admirable artwork and traditional furniture.
