Al Oud Cemetery (Arabic: مقبرة العود) is a public cemetery in the al-Owd neighbourhood of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, known for being the resting place of many kings, queens, crown princes and royals of the second and current Saudi states.
[1][2] The word "al-ʿŪud", in Peninsular Arabic means "elder (older person)", likely referring to King Abdulaziz, who was buried in the cemetery.
[4] More specifically, the cemetery is on the right hand side of Batha'a street going south, between Al Diryah and Manhub.
[6] In March 2012, the environmental health directorate of the Riyadh municipality started a project to mark each grave electronically.
Well-known writer and public-figure Ghazi Abdul Rahman Al Gosaibi was buried there, too.
