Why Different Websites Show Different Al Izdihar Codes
Most guides list only one code for Izdihar, 12488, and stop there. That single number is correct for most of the district, but the zone runs 12485 to 12488, so an address on the Uthman Ibn Affan Road side can carry 12485 instead.
The code 12485 is real, not a mistake: it appears on the addresses of Al Forsan International School offices and shops on Uthman Ibn Affan Road in Izdihar. A guide that lists only 12488 misses that side of the district.
Use 12488 for the district. Use the table above for your street. Use the SPL map for your exact building.
Where Is Al Izdihar?
Al Izdihar sits in east Riyadh, between Al Taawun to the west and Ghirnatah to the east, divided by the Eastern Ring Road, in the 12 zone. Uthman Ibn Affan Road runs through the district, and Tabuk Street crosses it. Al Nakheel Mall stands on its south-western corner, and Granada Mall is just to the east.
Nearby districts include Al Hamra postal code to the south-east and Al Khaleej postal code to the north-east. Its schools and malls are why the Al Izdihar postal code appears on so many family addresses.
Many people in Riyadh still give directions by landmark instead of a code. They say “near Al Nakheel Mall” or “behind Al Forsan School” rather than 12488. That works for a taxi driver, because drivers know the big malls and schools. It does not work for a delivery or an official form, because a landmark covers a whole area and the code points to your street. Give both together: “Uthman Ibn Affan Road, near Al Nakheel Mall, 12488”.
