Al-Mansurah, alternatively romanized as al-Mansourah and formerly known as Khanshaleelah,[1] is a historic neighborhood in southern Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, located east of Manfuhah and west of al-Khalidiyyah in the sub-municipalities of al-Batʼha and Aziziya.[2] [3] [4] It was once a stopover for Hajj pilgrims on the traditional route arriving from the east and was named after a 16th century local woman, Jaleelah bint Abdul Mohsen ad-Dar'iy, who had donated her house as a caravanserai to accommodate the travelers enroute to Mecca.[5]
According to historians, the neighborhood's previous name, Khanshaleelah was derived from the name of a woman, Jaleelah, the daughter of Abdul Mohsen bin Sai'id ad-Dar'iy al-Hanafyy, who reportedly donated her house to feed and accommodate Hajj pilgrims passing through Riyadh from east.[6] [7]
Pilgrims arriving from non-Arab eastern countries of Central Asia and Transoxiana dubbed the neighborhood as "khan", a Middle Persian word that refers to an "urban caravanserai" built within a town or a city.[8]
