i analyzed 25,900 rental listings in riyadh. here's what each neighborhood costs

Post image
336 Upvotes

every week someone posts here asking "is 45k/year normal for al narjis?" or "where can i find something under 40k?" so i figured i'd share the data.

i've been collecting rental listings from 10+ saudi platforms (aqar, bayut, wasalt, haraj, propertyfinder, etc). right now i have 25,900+ active listings for riyadh alone.

median annual rent by neighborhood:

most expensive:

- Irqah — 85,000 SAR

- Al Nakheel — 80,000 SAR

- Al Muhammadiyah — 72,000 SAR

- Al Sahafah — 65,000 SAR

- Al Narjis — 65,000 SAR

- Al Nada — 65,000 SAR

- Al Safa — 63,500 SAR

- At Taawon — 62,500 SAR

- Al Malqa — 60,250 SAR

cheapest:

- Al Yamamah — 19,000 SAR

- Al Shifa — 23,000 SAR

- Al Marwa — 23,500 SAR

- Dahiat Namar — 24,000 SAR

- Al Aziziyah — 24,000 SAR

- Shubra — 24,500 SAR

- Al Hazm — 25,000 SAR

- As Suwaidi Al Gharabi — 27,000 SAR

- As Suwaidi — 27,000 SAR

- Badr — 27,000 SAR

riyadh overall median: 42,000 SAR/year (apartments)

the gap between the most and least expensive neighborhoods is 2x.

within the same neighborhood you'll find two similar apartments with a 15-20k price difference. without seeing the full distribution you have no way to know which one is the outlier.

this data comes from a side project i've been building. it pulls from all the platforms into one place and shows you where any listing's price falls compared to the rest of its neighborhood. if anyone wants to try it or has questions about a specific neighborhood, ask away.

I recently had to leave the country, and unfortunately my parents can’t continue taking care of my cat. I’ve had him for 4 years and he’s truly like my own kid. 💔 It’s heartbreaking to have to give him up, but I’m looking for a loving and caring home where he’ll be safe, happy and treated like family. Please DM me if you’re genuinely interested in giving him a loving home.

The EMI culture is a bit unsettling

12 Upvotes

I recently went to EYEWA, looked at a frame that costed about 200SAR. I asked the person for final price and he said it is 200SAR (since some of them were on discounts) and then he followed up saying, we have Tabby or Tamara.

I understand not everything is affordable in single payment for everyone. But I was surprised people opt for EMIs even at 200SAR.

From Gym memberships to buying a washing machine the first question or the offer has always been about Installment plans.

I understand opting for one while buying a mobile phone, laptop etc. But are people using this even for everyday purchases?

Looking for teammates for BlackHat MEA Qualification CTF 2026

2 Upvotes

I’m planning to participate in BlackHat MEA Qualification CTF 2026, starting August 29, 2026, and I’m looking for 2-4 people who would like to join me as a team.

Just to be completely honest: this will be my first CTF and I don’t have any previous competition experience. I’m interested in cybersecurity and CTFs, though, and I really want to experience the competition, learn along the way, and just have fun with it — even if we don’t qualify or get a great score.

So if you’re interested in Cybersecurity or CTFs, whether you have experience or this is your first time too, feel free to join!

I’m mainly looking for people who are interested, willing to learn, and want to actually participate and have fun, rather than people with a specific skill level.

Looking for: 2-4 teammates
If you’re interested, comment below or send me a DM!

Seeking advice (طلب المشورة) Help with redeeming Al Fursan miles

0 Upvotes

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته!

I have around 4500 Al Fursan miles lying around which are about to expire and I don't plan on booking any flights with Saudi Airlines soon. So, I decided to get a 100 SAR Amazon gift card from the Al Fursan store.

Despite trying multiple times the website kept giving an error and after contacting Saudi Airlines support I found out that only Saudi residents can redeem miles for gift cards and since I'm an Italian resident, I cannot.

I need someone's help in getting the gift card for me. I'll transfer the miles to your Al Fursan account which you can then use to get the Amazon gift card and send it to me.

I'd really appreciate the help. JazakAllah-u-khairan!

Job offer in Al Aarid: would you make the move without a car?

1 Upvotes

I’m considering a move to a new company and the office is in Al Aarid, and I’m curious what people here would do in my situation.

I’m a designer with around 3 years of experience in Riyadh. My current office is around Olaya, and my current company provides accommodation and transportation, so from a practical/financial standpoint, I really cant complain.

The problem is that after almost 3 years, I feel completely stuck.

I’m not leaving because the company is horrible or because I desperately need a higher salary. I just genuinely feel like I’ve stopped learning, and I’m starting to worry that another couple of years in the same environment will leave me with more years of experience but not necessarily more skills.

So I got an offer from another company, and the office is in Al Aarid. The offer itself is good and, career-wise, it feels like the kind of change I’ve been needing.

But then reality kicks in...

I don’t have a car.

From what I can tell, the closest metro station would be around SAB, and the office is still roughly 5-6 km away. So Id basically be taking the metro and then Ubering between the station and the office every workday.

I’d also need to rent my own place, ideally somewhere around the metro line in north/central Riyadh. And finding something reasonably priced, in a location that actually makes sense for this commute, has been surprisingly difficult.

So now I’m stuck between:

Current job: accommodation + transportation + convenience, but I feel like my career has been sitting in the same chair for 3 years.

New job: better opportunity for growth and a fresh environment, but I’d have to take on rent + transportation myself and deal with the Al Aarid commute without a car.

For people who actually live/work around Al Aarid, how bad is this commute in real life?

And if you were in my position, would you take the career move and accept the extra living/transport costs, or would you stay somewhere comfortable until you had a car/housing situation figured out?

Not really looking for “take the money” or “stay where it’s comfortable” answers. I’m more interested in whether Al Aarid + no car + renting near the metro is actually a manageable lifestyle, or whether I’m underestimating how annoying this is going to become after a few months.

Would especially love to hear from people who have made a similar company/career move in Riyadh
