    Al-Balad

    In Al-Balad, every step takes you deeper into the heart of history. Wander through narrow alleys lined with coral-stone houses, admire the intricate wooden Rawasheen, and feel the soul of old Jeddah in every corner. One of the most iconic stops is Nassif House Museum — once home to one of Jeddah’s most influential families, and even a guesthouse for King Abdulaziz himself. Inside, you'll find antique furniture, rare manuscripts, and panoramic views from the wooden balconies that once watched centuries unfold. Whether you're capturing timeless photos or simply soaking in the atmosphere, Al-Balad is a living storybook waiting to be explored
