While Bayt Nassif Museum and Cultural Center remains closed, the Matbouli House Museum is a great alternative. Admission is just under €5, including coffee and a biscuit.

Clean restrooms!

The Matbouli House Museum is a privately owned property located on Al-Qossani Avenue in the Al-Balad district of Jeddah. This museum was once the home of a traditional Hijazi merchant, but it has since been converted into a museum. Nearly 400 years old, it was built in an urban style.

The house belongs to a wealthy local family and has undergone minimal renovations to preserve its authenticity. It has two entrances and four floors, and features some stunning wooden lattice balconies at the front. Inside, you'll find antique gramophones, classic staircases, beautiful wooden ceilings, antiques, and local artifacts. There is also an office for elderly visitors and a basement that collects rainwater.

A visit to this museum offers a glimpse into daily life in Al-Balad in bygone days. Unfortunately, some parts of the house, such as the roof, are still not open to visitors. However, many other parts are accessible and offer a thorough understanding of centuries of culture.

The house is undoubtedly one of the best historical sites in the region for gaining insight into the traditional way of life of the ancient Arabs.
