Al-Balad and Nassif House

See Website

Al-Balad is Jeddah’s famously preserved Old Town, which dates back to the 7th century and is now a designated World Heritage site beloved for its winding, cobbled streets and striking carved-wood tower homes. Here, you can also explore the Nassif House—which served as the residence for King Abdulaziz, the founder of the nation of Saudi Arabia, for three years—as well as the souk.
