Description

Come and visit one of Jeddah's most interesting spot. In Jeddah's fish market, named also Bengala, you can see more than 50 species of fish and seafood, from hammerhead sharks to grouper, parrotfish and lobster. Early mornings are always busy and chaotic. The stands receive the night’s catch from boats coming back, usually from Southern Jeddah or the north, or from places outside the country, like Yemen and Oman. The daily sale of the morning’s catch, when the action really gets going, is spectacular, fishmongers come and go like honeybees in their hive. Some bargain to get better prices, others are busy carrying the fish, sorting them out and scaling and gutting them.

This tour is open to a maximum of 45 people. Attendees must be 16 years of age or older.
