History

According to historians, the neighborhood's previous name, Khanshaleelah was derived from the name of a woman, Jaleelah, the daughter of Abdul Mohsen bin Sai'id ad-Dar'iy al-Hanafyy, who reportedly donated her house to feed and accommodate Hajj pilgrims passing through Riyadh from east.[5][6]
