This place is mind-blowing, the rich heritage of Saudi Arabian woodworks and architecture is mesmerizing. It instantly takes you back to centuries ago giving a glimpse of life at that time.

This was my favorite stop during my trip to Al ballad this time. The work displayed was breathtaking and it shows great pride in the work of the students. The place is so beautiful on the inside, the architecture is beyond words to describe. I liked how they set up the display and the tour is pretty quick.

They were very welcoming and we were giving a very unusual coffee as a welcome drink. We visited several different rooms displaying how the locals used to live. I found it very interesting.

I am not rating low because anything is wrong. The place is beautiful and free for visitors (after 5 pm) but currently there is nothing to see.

All main floors are closed and there is small exhibition about wooden craft and colouring on ground floor. It may interest if you are craft lover. I wanted to read about the history of Jeddah.

The staff also did not tell you what to expect. So it may not be worth to visit it till they open all floors.

Nassif House Museum is located in historic district of Al-Balad in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It's known for its traditional architecture, cultural heritage, and historic sites. Rest can be seen in the pictures attached.

Had an amazing refreshing walk in the balad.from old houses to old archetecture well preserved. We loved every bit if it. Day light made it more interesting to watch and what an amazing historic vibe while visiting shops and alleys.
