Souq Al Zal is a beautiful market and one of the oldest markets in Riyadh. It offers a glimpse into Saudi Arabia's traditional and historical heritage. Here, you can explore and purchase items like clothing, shoes, carpets, utensils, home decor materials, and more. This market keeps the 200-300-year-old history of Saudi Arabia alive, and many of these ancient items are still available here. The market attracts a lot of tourists with its charm and cultural significance. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting this place. For anyone who loves exploring or buying antique items, a visit to Souq Al Zal is highly recommended.

Riyadhs traditional souq. It is mostly undercover which is a blessing in Saudi heat. You can get lost in the narrow alleyways with its small shops usually loaded with goods. Evenings is best for the hustle and bustle. Mornings between 9 and 12 for a quieter shopping experience. Bargaining used to be accepted, but these days it's harder to drive a bargain if you are western looking. It is still possible to find interesting stuff though. Three stars because many souvenir items are not made in Saudi. And parking is a bit of a challenge so getting a taxi/driver drop off is recommended at busy times.

To come and see. Exceptional.

Souq Al-Zel is a must-visit historic market offering authentic Saudi culture. Known for traditional goods like carpets, oud, swords, and antiques, it’s perfect for unique souvenirs. The vibrant atmosphere, friendly vendors, and affordable prices make it a memorable experience. Located near Al-Masmak Fortress, it’s a great stop for both shopping and exploring Riyadh’s heritage. Best visited in the evening for cooler weather and lively activity. Very recommended 👑

A market specialized in Saudi folk clothing, in addition to Saudi home furnishings and old rugs that were used before the establishment of the first Arab Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The market has the appearance of old markets with a modern character. In addition to the presence of the palace of King Abdulaziz I, called (Al-Masmak), near the market, which is currently considered a museum chronicling the history of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
