Nasseef House, Historical museum in Al Balad district, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
The grand seven-story structure features wooden latticed windows, Islamic decorative motifs, and white walls adorned with intricate patterns throughout its interior spaces.
Built in 1881 by Sheikh Omar Effendi Nasseef, the building served as King Abdulaziz's residence for ten years during the formation of Saudi Arabia.
The museum displays Portuguese cannons from the Middle Ages, traditional red chairs called 'kurwita', and artifacts dating back more than 130 years.
The entrance fee is 10 Saudi Riyals, and visitors can take photographs throughout all areas of the building and its exhibitions.
Next to the building stood the only tree in Jeddah during the 1920s, which led locals to name the structure 'The House of the Tree'.
