About	Old houses from ottoman time in the old Souq Al Alawi in Jeddah. Slide 1984 =============================== When you walk through the Souq Al Alawi, an impressive restored building called Biet Nassif, catches your eyes and entices you to come in. It has a 700-year-old flag mast and a 15th century cannon in its front yard that dominates the King Abdul Aziz Historical Square. The Jeddah Historical Area Preservation Department (JHAPD) restored Biet Nassif during the 1990s and it presently houses a cultural center. JHAPD has, over the last few years, restored a number of old and crumbling traditional buildings as the government protects all old buildings from demolition in order to preserve the historical area. The excavation of a 15th century underground water canal brings water from nearby mountains about 15 kilometers away, and underlines the historical and archaeological wealth waiting to be uncovered in Balad.
