Thulaim is a commercial and residential neighborhood in downtown Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, located south of al-Amal and north of Margab in the sub-municipality of al-Malaz,[1] situated on the edge of now dried up stream of Wadi al-Batʼha.[2] The neighborhood is bounded by the al-Batʼha Street to the west, constituting its westernmost part in the al-Batʼha commercial area and is today inhabited mostly by overseas workers from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. It is named after the Thulaim Palace,[3] which was itself attributed to an eponymous farm on which it was built by King Abdulaziz ibn Saud in present-day al-Fouta district in late 1930s.
Owing to its visible furrows during medieval Najd, one historical account suggests that the area might've been referred to as al-Thalama during the existence of Hajr al-Yamamah, which was recorded in a poem by 8th century Abbasid poet Sulayman ibn Abi Hafsa.[4] [5]
