A half day on foot in the historic district of Yanbu. The quarter sits in Yanbu Al-Bahr and covers an area estimated at 45,000 square metres, with about 100 heritage buildings inside it. No ticket is needed to enter, so the walk is unhurried and you can stop wherever you want to.
The guide works through the lanes, explaining who built here and what the port meant to the Red Sea trade. It pairs well with time in the water: Umluj, further along the same coast, is the usual base for a boat day.
