Visit the historic Nassif House Museum in Al-Balad
View this post on Instagram
One of Jeddah’s best-restored old coral houses, Nassif House belonged to one of Jeddah’s most powerful trading families and was later a royal residency for King Abdul Aziz. It has since been converted into a museum and is definitely worth visiting, where you can enjoy the company of your family or friends in the evenings, full of joy and storytelling. Look out for the ramps installed by the King to allow his camel-mounted messengers to ride all the way to the upper terrace, and the huge tree left of the door. As recently as 1920, this was the only tree in the whole of Jeddah.
Nassif House Museum, daily 8am to noon, 6pm to midnight, Al Dhahab, Al-Balad, Jeddah 22236. Tel: 012 647 2280. @jeddahalbalad.sa
