During a 15-hour stopover in Jeddah we were looking for a guide who would allow us to discover the essence of the city in a short time and without fear. That's how we met Howida, and we couldn't have made a better choice. With passion and competence he accompanied us in the heart of the historic center, telling us about the history, traditions and daily life of yesterday and today. He showed us hidden corners, explained the significance of the buildings and linked the places to important events that marked the city. Thanks to her we got to know the local culture more closely, tasting typical drinks such as turmeric coffee and hibiscus tea, as well as traditional specialties such as Balila, a dish made with chickpeas with vinegar and beetroot, simple but rich in flavor and history. A truly extraordinary experience, which I recommend to everyone, men, but especially women, who want to discover Jeddah in an authentic and safe way, even when there is little time available. Thank you so much, Howida: I hope to be back soon for a new tour!

Ms.Howida Kouger was an EXCELLENT guide! She was communicative & very present even before the tour with info & suggestions for the upcoming day. Punctual & a delight to be around. Her aura & energy was positive & infectious. She was a wealth of information. If she did not know something she was honest & said so but would at the same time look up/ find out that unknown information. She always had good suggestions & what I really liked is that she asked me for my input & what I wanted to do. She was also thoughtful & caring & made me want to gladly book again which I will surely do the next time visiting the city. Do not hesitate or be afraid to book one of her tours. You will NOT regret it ! Many Thanks! /Danke! / & Shukran! M.Anderson

This was such a great and convenient tour. I had limited amount of time in Jeddah to fit some time for a tour of the old city and this did not disappoint. Howida is super knowledgeable, welcoming and made my first visit to the city an unforgettable one. Her attention to detail was super and she went beyond to make sure she answer all my questions. The tea and coffee breaks were a plus. Look forward to coming back in the future with more time.
