Jerusalem (proclaimed) Ramallah (de facto) , Palestine 1
Riyadh ( Arabic : الرياض , romanized : 'ar-Riyāḍ , lit. : 'The Gardens' [ar.riˈjaːdˤ] Najdi pronunciation: [er.rɪˈjɑːðˤ] ), formerly known as Hajr , is the capital of Saudi Arabia and one of the largest cities on the Arabian Peninsula . Located in the center of the an-Nafud deserts, on the eastern part of the Najd plateau , the city sits at an average of 600 meters (2,000 ft) above sea level, [3] and receives around 5 million tourists each year, making it the forty-ninth most visited city in the world and the 6th in the Middle East . Riyadh had a population of 7.6 million people in 2019, making it the most-populous city in Saudi Arabia, 3rd most populous in the Middle East , and 38th most populous in Asia . [2]

The first mentioning of the city by the name Riyadh was in 1590, by an early Arab chronicler. [4] In 1737, Deham Ibn Dawwas, who was from the neighboring Manfuha , settled in and took control of the city. Deham built a wall around the city, and the best-known source of the name Riyadh is from this period, thought to be referring to the earlier oasis towns that predated the wall built by Ibn Dawwas. [5] In 1744, Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab formed an alliance with the Emir of Dir'iyah, Muhammad bin Saud , and in 1774, they took Riyadh from Deham. However their state, now known as the First Saudi State , came to a collapse in 1818. Turki ibn Abdullah founded the Second Saudi State in the early 19th century and made Riyadh his capital in 1825. However, his reign over the city was disrupted by a joint Ottoman– Rashidi alliance. Finally, in the early 20th century, ' Abdulaziz ibn Saud , known in the west simply as Ibn Saud, retrieved his ancestral kingdom of Najd in 1902 and consolidated his rule by 1926 with the final Saudi conquest of Hejaz . [6] After this he named his kingdom Saudi arabia in September 1932 [6] with Riyadh as the capital. [7]

Riyadh is the political and administrative center of Saudi Arabia. The Consultative Assembly (also known as the Shura or Shura Council ), the Council of Ministers of Saudi Arabia , the King and the Supreme Judicial Council of Saudi Arabia are all situated in the city. Alongside these four bodies that form the core of the legal system of Saudi Arabia , the headquarters of other major and minor governmental bodies are also located in Riyadh. [8] The city hosts 112 foreign embassies , most of which are located in the as-Safarat district or Diplomatic Quarter ( Arabic : حي السفارات , romanized : Hayy as-Safarat , lit. 'District of Embassies') in the western reaches of the city.

Riyadh also holds great economic significance, as it hosts the headquarters of many banks and major companies, such as the National Commercial Bank (NCB), Alinma Bank and the Saudi Arabian British Bank (SABB). Highway 65 , known locally as the King Fahd Road, runs through some of these important centers in the city, including the King Abdullah Financial District , one of the world's largest financial districts, the Faisaliyah Center and the Kingdom Center . Riyadh is one of the world's fastest-growing cities in population and is home to many expatriates . Riyadh has been designated a global city . [9]

The city is divided into 15 municipal districts, which are overseen by the Municipality of Riyadh ( Arabic : أمانة الرياض , romanized : Amanat 'ar-Riyāḍ , lit. 'Protectorate of Riyadh') headed by the mayor; and the Royal Commission for Riyadh which is chaired by the Governor of the Province, Faisal bin Bandar Al Saud . As of July 2020, the mayor is Faisal bin Abdulaziz bin Mohammed bin Ayyaf Al-Muqrin. [10]

During the Pre-Islamic era the city at the site of modern Riyadh was called Hajr ( Arabic : حجر ), and was reportedly founded by the tribe of Banu Hanifa . [11] Hajr served as the capital of the province of Al-Yamamah , whose governors were responsible for most of central and eastern Arabia during the Umayyad and Abbasid eras. Al-Yamamah broke away from the Abbasid Empire in 866 and the area fell under the rule of the Ukhaydhirites , who moved the capital from Hajr to nearby Al-Kharj . The city then went into a long period of decline. In the 14th century, North African traveler Ibn Battuta wrote of his visit to Hajr, describing it as "the main city of Al-Yamamah, and its name is Hajr ". Ibn Battuta goes on to describe it as a city of canals and trees with most of its inhabitants belonging to the Bani Hanifa , and reports that he continued on with their leader to Mecca to perform the Hajj .

Later on, Hajr broke up into several separate settlements and estates. The most notable of these were Migrin (or Muqrin) and Mi'kal , though the name Hajr continued to appear in local folk poetry. The earliest known reference to the area by the name Riyadh comes from a 17th-century chronicler reporting on an event from the year 1590. In 1737, Deham ibn Dawwas, a refugee from neighboring Manfuha , took control of Riyadh. [4] Ibn Dawwas built a single wall to encircle the various oasis town in the area, making them effectively a single city. The name "Riyadh," meaning "gardens" refers to these earlier oasis towns. [5]

In 1744, Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab formed an alliance with Muhammad ibn Saud , the ruler of the nearby town of Diriyah . Ibn Saud then set out to conquer the surrounding region with the goal of bringing it under the rule of a single Islamic state. Ibn Dawwas of Riyadh led the most determined resistance, allied with forces from Al Kharj , Al Ahsa , and the Banu Yam clan of Najran . However, Ibn Dawwas fled and Riyadh capitulated to the Saudis in 1774, ending long years of wars, and leading to the declaration of the First Saudi State , with Diriyah as its capital. [4]

The First Saudi State was destroyed by forces sent by Muhammad Ali of Egypt , acting on behalf of the Ottoman Empire . Ottoman forces razed the Saudi capital Diriyah in 1818. [4] They had maintained a garrison at Najd . This marked the decline of the House of Saud for a short time. [12] Turki bin Abdullah bin Muhammad became the first Amir of the Second Saudi State ; the cousin of Saud bin Saud, he ruled for 19 years till 1834, leading to the consolidation of the area though they were notionally under the control of the Muhammad Ali, the Viceroy of Egypt. [12] In 1823, Turki ibn Abdallah chose Riyadh as the new capital. [13] Following the assassination of Turki in 1834, his eldest son Faisal killed the assassin and took control, and refused to be controlled by the Viceroy of Egypt . Najd was then invaded and Faisal was taken captive and held in Cairo . However, as Egypt became independent of the Ottoman Empire, Faisal escaped after five years of incarceration, returned to Najd and resumed his reign, ruled till 1865,
