Salah al-Din was a neighborhood in northern Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, located east of al-Wahah and west of al-Wurud in the sub-municipality of al-Ulaya.[1] [2] [3] [4] The district was named after 12th century Muslim sultan Salah al-Din ibn Ayyub, the founder of Ayyubid dynasty. Along with the adjacent al-Wahah neighborhood, the district ceased to exist in May 2023 when both of them where conjoined to form the King Salman Neighborhood.[5] [6] [7] Covering an area of almost 875 acres,[8] it hosted the main office of the Ministry of Education and the premises of Riyadh College of Technology as well as Prince Sultan University.[9] [10] [11]
It was renamed as King Salman Neighborhood by Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman in May 2023 when it was conjoined with al-Wahah neighborhood to honor the legacy of King Salman bin Abdulaziz and his efforts to modernize Riyadh during his period in office as the governor of Riyadh Province between 1963 and 2011.
