Al-Doho (Arabic: حي الدحو), formerly Haara al-Hilla[1] (Arabic: حارة الحلة) and alternatively transliterated as al-Daho or al-Dahu, is a historic neighborhood situated within the former old city walls of southern Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, located in the Qasr al-Hukm District of al-Batʼha sub-municipality.[2] It is the only neighborhood from the walled town that is independently administered by the Riyadh Municipality, whereas the rest of extinct settlements lie in the adjacent ad-Dirah district.
Bordered by King Faisal Road to the east, al-Thumairi Street to the north, al-Madinah al-Munawwarah Road to the south and Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Street to the west, it is considered to be one of the last remnants of the old city neighborhoods.[3][4] The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (then The High Commission for the Development of Arriyadh) presented the plan to resuscitate the neighborhood in 2010[5] at the 2010 Saudi Travel and Tourism Investment Market and began its implementation 2013.[6]
