Why Different Websites Show Different Al Sulaymaniyah Codes
Some guides list 12241 as the code for Sulaymaniyah. That is the first code in the wider zone, not the main district code. The main code is 12245, used by Bayut listings across the district and by the KnowKSA guide.
Listings also spell the district Al Sulimaniyah, with one y, and some guides mix Sulaymaniyah codes with Olaya codes, which run 12211 to 12214 next door. The spelling does not change the code, and the Olaya codes belong to the next district, not Sulaymaniyah.
Use 12245 for the district. Use the table above for your street. Use the SPL map for your exact building.
Where Is Al Sulaymaniyah?
Al Sulaymaniyah sits in central Riyadh, just west of Olaya, in the central 12 zone. Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz Street, known as Tahlia Street, runs through it, with Takhassusi Street and King Abdullah Road nearby, and Olaya Street at its eastern edge.
The district sits next to Al Olaya postal code to the east and Al Malaz postal code further east. Its central position is why the district code appears on so many office and hotel addresses, and why visitors often mix it up with Olaya.
Many people in Riyadh still give directions by landmark instead of a code. They say “near Panorama Mall” or “on Tahlia Street” rather than 12245. 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: “Tahlia Street, near Panorama Mall, 12245”.
