It is located in the Yemeni Quarter and was given
the name “Khuzam” due to the abundance of
the “Khuzam”, or lavender plant, in its vicinity.
King Abdulaziz ordered its construction after
his residency in the Naseef house for a period
of time. The construction of the palace began in
1928 A.D., and was completed in 1932 A.D. It
is the first building in Jeddah to be constructed
of cement and iron, and is now one of the most
important museums in Saudi Arabia.
