Al-Daho Neighborhood

Al-Daho Neighborhood is a heritage neighborhood located in the heart of Riyadh City, the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, within the Qasr al-Hukm District. It is considered one of the city's old neighborhoods.

The importance of al-Daho Neighborhood lies in its status as the last remaining historic neighborhood within the walls of old Riyadh City. With a history spanning over two hundred years, it reflects the traditional construction and architectural designs that were prevalent in the city during that period.

Al-Daho is distinguished by its location within the Qasr al-Hukm District, which serves as the hub for political, social, and economic activities in Riyadh City. The neighborhood features mudbrick houses and mosques characterized by local architectural styles, with its landmarks maintaining their general form and simple construction. The architectural designs reflect the social life and traditions of that era, shaped by the social and economic conditions of the time, influencing the neighborhood's design and engineering.

The Royal Commission for Riyadh City implemented a development project for al-Daho Neighborhood to transform it into a hub for commercial, touristic, and cultural activities. The project aims to preserve its architectural form, protect it from demolition and neglect, and capitalize on its strategic location, turning it into a historical landmark for Riyadh City.
