Historic Jeddah is renewing its presence at the World Travel Market in London from November 4 to 6, one of the leading tourism and travel events, building on previous participation and reaffirming the Ministry of Culture’s efforts to position Historic Jeddah as a premier global cultural and tourism destination.
At this year’s exhibition, Historic Jeddah is presenting a range of new tourism
products and interactive experiences that highlight the evolution of cultural
experiences in the area and enhance its standing as a world-class destination
for visitors and explorers, reported SPA.
Among these offerings are curated tourism
routes led by certified guides, including the historic Hajj route, which
showcases Jeddah’s historic role as the gateway to the Two Holy Mosques.
The route features 10 archaeological sites
associated with the Hajj journey throughout history, presented through
engaging, well-documented storytelling.
Additional routes offer visitors diverse
perspectives for discovering and interacting with the area’s living heritage.
The pavilion also features an interactive archaeological display using QR code
scanning, allowing visitors to view artifacts virtually, as if they were in a
museum in the heart of Historic Jeddah.
The
experience provides insight into the history of key sites, as well as their
architectural elements and rare artifacts, combining knowledge, heritage, and
technology in a single immersive journey.
