King Salman Neighborhood

King Salman Neighborhood (Arabic: حي الملك سلمان) is a district in northern Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, located east of King Abdullah District and west of al-Wurud neighborhood in the sub-municipality of al-Ulaya.

Covering an area of 1673 acres, the district was formed in May 2023 and assumed its name after King Salman bin Abdulaziz following the amalgamation of al-Wahah and Salah al-Din neighborhoods.

[3][4] King Abdulaziz District was situated south of al-Wahah and Salah al-Din neighborhoods.

In May 2023, al-Wahah and Salah al-Din neighborhoods were renamed as King Salman Neighborhood by Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman to honor the legacy of King Salman bin Abdulaziz and his efforts to modernize Riyadh during his period in office as the governor of Riyadh Province between 1955 and 1960 and then from 1963 to 2011.
