dc.description	"One of Balad's most magnificent ancient mansions, which has recently been renovated, is Bayt Nassif (Nassif House), now considered a symbol of Jeddah's rich past. Today, it is a cultural center where you can attend special exhibits or lectures. [...] The construction of Nassif House began in 1872 and it was finished by 1881 for Sheikh Omar Effendi Nassif, then governor of Jeddah. This house belonged to the Nassif family until 1975. One of the heirs, Sheikh Muhammad, turned Bayt Nassif into a private library that eventually accumulated 16,000 books, which could be read by anyone visiting him. Today these books belong to the Abdul Aziz University Library." Source: http://www.saudicaves.com/saudi/oldjeddah.html [Accessed August 13, 2012]	en_US
