Diversity extends to every corner of the city, from the thriving arts scene and food culture, to the countless architectural influences. Whatever your tastes, you’ll find it in Jeddah.

Living History

Al Balad

For both the initiated and the uninitiated, a visit to Al Balad, the historic downtown area of Jeddah originally built in the 7th Century, is a memorable experience. The area’s charm has been preserved through careful restoration of the striking townhouses and narrow streets. Come for the unique architecture, the colorful markets and enchanting atmosphere.

The Tree House

Naseef House

Each corner of Jeddah’s Al Balad has a story to tell, and Naseef House is no exception. This restored coral house was once the royal residence for King Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud, following his conquering of the city in 1925. Inside you can see ramps that were installed to allow camels to walk all the way up to the upper terrace and a beautiful neem tree at the entrance, once believed to be the only tree in Jeddah. Today, Naseef House is a cultural center offering exhibitions, lectures and more.
