Al Daho

Al-Daho (Arabic: حي الدحو), alternatively transliterated as al-Dahu and pronounced as ad-Daho or ad-Dahu, is a subject of Baladiyah al-Batha and a historical neighborhood in the Qasr al-Hukm District[1] within the former old city walls in southern Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Bordered by King Faisal Road to the east, al-Thumairi Street to the north, al-Madinah al-Munawwarah Road to the south and Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Street to the west, it is considered to be one of the last remnants of the old city neighborhoods.[2][3] The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (then The High Commission for the Development of Arriyadh) presented the plan to resuscitate the neighborhood in 2010[4] at the 2010 Saudi Travel and Tourism Investment Market and began its implementation 2013.[5]
