Naseef House
Naseef House is located in the old city of Jeddah, Souk al-Alawi, and is famous throughout the city. The house was owned by one of the oldest and most prosperous trading clans in the area, the Naseefs. King Abdul Aziz (ibn Saud), the founder of modern day Jeddah, was said to have stayed often at Naseef House. The king actually installed wide ramps in place of stairways so that messengers could ride their camels all the way to the top floor.
