Al-Khalidiah (Riyadh)

Al-Khalidiah (Arabic: حي الخالدية, romanized: ḥaī al-Khālidīyah) is a low-income residential neighborhood in southeastern Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, located south of as-Sinaiyah and west of al-Faisaliyyah in the sub-municipality of al-Batʼha.

[9] It is today inhabited mostly by overseas Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Yemeni migrant workers and their families.

[10][11][12][13][14] The area was previously inhabited by Arabs who mostly belonged to the Anizah tribe, and thus, was named Hillat al-Anouz.

The locality is also known for serving several schools and health centers for nearby districts[17][18] besides being unpopular among residents for its seasonal power outages.

[20] Since the late 1980s, the High Commission for the Development of Riyadh has implemented a series of projects in the neighborhood in order to reduce the groundwater levels.
