Hillat al-Dakhna (Arabic: حلة دخنة), alternatively transliterated as Dekhna or Dukhnah, was a quarter and a douar within the former city walls in southern Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,[1][2] located west of al-Gadimah and south of al-Duhairah in southern part of the walled town.

The quarter contained the 18th century Dakhna Grand Mosque, due to which it was nicknamed as Hayy al-ʿUlamāʾ (Arabic: حي العلماء, lit.

[4] It was a prominent settlement and a major commercial center[5] until the early 1960s[6] and was incorporated into the metropolis of Riyadh between the 1950s and 1970s.

[10] In 1773, following the House of Saud-led takeover of the walled town, Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Abd al-Wahhab built a mosque in the area, which later became a center of learning for Hanbali Sunni scholars and was dubbed as Hayy al-Ulama.

[12] In 2021, the Dukhnaah Restaurant was opened in Boulevard City in Riyadh that offers culinary traditions from Najd and was named after the erstwhile quarter of the walled town.
