Tour Description
Embark on a special gastronomic trip in Jeddah with us and immerse yourself in the varied flavours of the Saudi kitchen. With the guidance of our experienced food travel expert, you will explore the culinary treasures that make Saudi food unique. You will be introduced to fragrant spices, sweet desserts, and refreshing drinks.
Saudi Arabian food is the perfect epitome of its vibrant culture and tradition. Every dish has a tale to tell, and it narrates years of traditional beliefs and practices. This food tour will allow you to enjoy enriched lamb dishes, fresh seafood, desserts, and sweet items. Υour host will take you to the most authentic local spots where these food masterpieces are being made. Whether it’s a street food stall or fancy restaurant, each bite will plunge you into the true taste of Saudi Arabia.
The core of Saudi cuisine lies in its main courses, and this visit will make sure you don’t miss out on anything. You might want to try Kabsa (saffron-basmati rice served most often with tender chicken or lamb pieces), Mandi (slow-cooked dish known for its smoky aroma), or Saleeg (creamy rice meat served with juicy meat on top).
For seafood enthusiasts, the trip includes newly local catches which are kept aspiringly simple like grilled fish and shrimp with the right combination of spices. No meal would be complete without something refreshing to drink, or maybe something sweet, Saudi food is well geared for the same. When thirsty, one may take a glass of Qamar al-Din (puree made from apricot) or specially prepared cardamom flavoured Saudi coffee with some dates.
End your meal with unique flavours of Kunafa or Luqaimat, where the former is sweet pastry layered with cheese drowned in syrup and the latter golden dumplings cascaded with honey. There you have it. This is more than a food sampling trip. You will be schooled on the Saudi eating manners and customs that revolve around the kind Saudi welcoming culture.
As you eat your way through Jeddah, you will learn to appreciate the culture and way of life behind these incredible flavours. Your guide will explain to you how recipes are traditionally handed down from one generation to the other, thereby keeping alive the very essence of Saudi food.
After enjoying great dishes in Jeddah, take a stroll through local food markets and you will see the vibrant spectrum of spices from saffron and cumin to cardamom and black lime. These spaces are a feast for your senses.
On the food tour, look for stands brimming with fresh fruits and vegetables. Try to take some local produce home to enjoy later and remind you of your culinary experience. Any kind of travel would be incomplete without sampling local fare, and the Jeddah food tour promises to be an unforgettably journey.
