The most famous house in Al Balad, built in 1881 by the Naseef family — wealthy merchants who controlled much of Jeddah's pilgrim trade. The five-storey tower follows the classic coral-stone-and-teak construction of the old city, with elaborately carved roshan windows shading every façade.
The house has been restored and opened as a museum and cultural centre. Climb to the top for a view across the old town. Free entry; opening hours can be unpredictable.
