Nasseef House is one of the most renowned historical palaces in Historic Jeddah, built in 1289 AH (1872 CE) by Sheikh Omar Effendi Nassif after four years of meticulous construction. The palace stands as a distinguished example of traditional Jeddah architecture, blending authenticity with elegance and showcasing the city’s rich cultural heritage.
Over the years, it gained great historical and political importance as a former guest palace for visiting dignitaries in the Hijaz region. It hosted many kings and princes, most notably King Abdulaziz Al Saud, the founder of Saudi Arabia, who resided in the palace for nearly 10 years, starting in 1344 AH (1925 CE).
Today, Nasseef House stands as a key attraction in Jeddah, drawing visitors eager to explore its authentic architecture and immerse themselves in the city’s heritage.
