Why Different Websites Show Different King Fahd District Codes
Three codes appear for this district, and only one set is backed by real addresses. The code 12582 is listed by ksapoint, guidetoksa, saudiscoop, pak24tv, and an old blogspot list, but no real address in King Fahd District uses it. Those lists copied each other, and none of them names a street or a building with 12582. Do not use it.
The code 12262 is listed by saudilifeguide, whose table comes from the SPL National Address map. It is most likely a building code for one part of the district, not the district code. It is in the table above so you can check it against your building.
The real district codes are 12271 to 12274. Bayut listings in King Fahd District show 12271 again and again, on Al Jafah Street, Al Duha Street, and other streets, verified against the REGA deed description, and one listing on Qawam Al Sunnah Street shows 12274. Gulfjobhire gives the same range, 12271 to 12274. Use 12271 for the district, the table above for your street, and the SPL map for your exact building.
Where Is King Fahd District?
King Fahd District sits in north central Riyadh, in the 12 zone, along King Fahd Road. It sits north of Al Olaya, south of Al Wurud, and south of An Nakheel, about 30 minutes from King Khalid International Airport by car. One code covers the district along King Fahd Road, from the homes near Olaya Street to the offices further north. King Fahd Road continues north from the district to KAFD, and the KAFD postal code is 13519.
The district sits next to Al Olaya postal code to the south and An Nakheel postal code to the north, with Al Sahafa postal code further north. Its position on King Fahd Road is why so many homes and offices are here, and why the code 12271 appears on so many rental listings. Al Wurud sits directly north of King Fahd District, and the Al Wurud postal code is 12251.
Many people in Riyadh still give directions by landmark instead of a code. They say “near Kingdom Centre” or “off King Fahd Road” rather than 12271. 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: “Al Jafah Street, King Fahd District, near Kingdom Centre, 12271”.
