What Is the An Nakheel Postal Code?
The An Nakheel postal code is 12282, and some streets in the district use 12644. The number breaks down as 1 for the Riyadh region, 22 for the central sector, and 82 for the Nakheel zone. It is also called the ZIP code, the term international websites use for the same five digit number.

If you are sending a parcel to the Twin Towers on King Fahd Road, booking a room at the Crowne Plaza on Imam Saud Road, or registering an office address, 12282 is the code you start with, and the table below gives you the code for your street.

Why Different Websites Show Different An Nakheel Codes
Two codes appear for An Nakheel, and both are real. Saudiscoop, ksabuddy, and guidetoksa list 12282 as the main code, and ksabuddy, guidetoksa, and pak24tv also list 12644 for a second part of the district. Some guides list only one of the two, which is why different sites seem to disagree. Use the table above for your street.
One code does not belong. Knowksa lists 12385 for Al Nakheel, but no other guide uses it and no real address in An Nakheel uses it. It comes from a guide that mixed up the district with another area.
The code 12382 is also real, but it is a building code for the Ministry of Investment on Imam Saud Road, not the district code. Use 12282 for the district, the table above for your street, and the SPL map for your exact building.
Where Is An Nakheel?
An Nakheel sits in north Riyadh, in the 12 zone, between King Fahd Road and Imam Saud Road. It sits north of King Fahd District, south of Al Malqa, and northeast of Al Sahafa. King Khalid International Airport is about 17 minutes away by car. The King Khalid International Airport postal code is the one for the airport itself. One code covers the district between King Fahd Road and Imam Saud Road, from the Twin Towers to the offices near Riyadh Gallery Mall.
The district sits next to Al Malqa postal code to the north, Al Sahafa postal code to the northeast, and King Fahd District postal code to the south. Its position on two main roads is why so many offices and hotels are here, and why the code 12282 appears on so many business addresses.
Many people in Riyadh still give directions by landmark instead of a code. They say “near the Twin Towers” or “on Imam Saud Road, by the Crowne Plaza” rather than 12282. That works for a taxi driver, because drivers know the big towers and hotels. 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: “Imam Saud Road, near the Crowne Plaza, An Nakheel, 12282”.
