Al Maigliah Market Center (Arabic: مركز المعيقلية التجاري) is a traditional shopping complex in the ad-Dirah neighborhood of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,[1][2] located in the western part of the Qasr al-Hukm District.
Built in the period 1988–1992 during the second phase of the Qasr Al Hukm District Development Project, it contains 1,000 shops divided into four sections specializing in the trade of traditional perfumes, gold, watches and fashion retail.
As residents of the area began relocating to new affluent districts, the quarter evolved into a traditional marketplace during the 1950s and 1970s.
[4] In March 1973, King Faisal bin Abdulaziz issued directives to Sheikh Abdulaziz Thunayyan, then mayor of Riyadh to conduct an extensive study of the area surrounding the al-Hukm Palace and implementing the project of its renovation the following year.
The company was responsible with renovation of the market,[8] which was built during the second phase of the Qasr Al Hukm District between 1988 and 1992[9] in modern Najdi architectural style.
