Why Different Websites Show Different Al Malaz Codes

No guide lists a wrong main code for Al Malaz. Knowksa, the Saudi Post branch listing, and real addresses in the district all agree on 12836. The confusion comes from the range, not from a rival code.

Some guides list only 12836, while others list the full range 12831 to 12838. Both are right in their own way: 12836 is the main district code, and the other numbers in the range are the codes of nearby streets in Al Malaz. Use 12836 for the district and the table above for your street.

One more point of confusion is the sub-district name Ad Dubbat, which appears on some addresses in Al Malaz with the same code 12836. Ad Dubbat is a part of Al Malaz, not a separate district, so its addresses use the Al Malaz code.

Where Is Al Malaz?

Al Malaz sits in east central Riyadh, east of Al Olaya postal code and Al Wizarat postal code, in the central 12 zone. Salahuddin Al Ayyubi Road runs through the district, and Makkah Road passes its northern edge. It is about 30 to 40 minutes from King Khalid International Airport by car.

The district sits next to Al Olaya and Al Wizarat to the west, and Al Naseem postal code to the east. Its parks and stadium are why the district code appears on so many home, hotel, and delivery addresses. To the south-west lies Batha, home to the old Batha Souq, and the Batha postal code is 12652 for addresses around the souq.

Many people in Riyadh still give directions by landmark instead of a code. They say "near King Abdullah Park" or "by Al Malaz Stadium" rather than 12836. That works for a taxi driver, because drivers know the big landmarks. 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: "Salahuddin Al Ayyubi Road, near King Abdullah Park, 12836".
