Where is Al Nafal and what is around it?
Al Nafal lies in north Riyadh at Exit 6, between King Abdulaziz Road to the west, Abu Bakr Al Siddiq Road to the east, the Northern Ring Road to the south and Prince Mohammed bin Salman Road to the north. It is a mostly quiet residential district, an advantage that counts for more on a yearly lease: quiet inner streets, with daily services on the edges rather than in the heart of the district.
Schools, private and international, are available in Al Nafal and in neighbouring districts such as Al Yasmin and Al Rabi, a short drive away. Supermarkets, restaurants and cafés line King Abdulaziz Road and Abu Bakr Al Siddiq Road, the major shopping centres in Al Nakheel and Al Yasmin are minutes away, and private medical centres and hospitals are within easy reach. Getting around: Al Olaya and King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) in about 10 to 15 minutes, and the airport in about 20 minutes. Al Nafal gives a family a northern location at a lower price than Al Malqa and Qurtubah, by a margin of between two and five thousand SAR a year on average.
Who is a yearly lease in Al Nafal right for?
- Singles and couples: 34 one-bedroom units, which is practically everything the district offers.
- Anyone who wants a quick decision: the close pricing narrows the comparison down to location and specifications.

Tips before you sign in Al Nafal
- Do not wait for a price difference: the units are close together, and waiting will not save you more than a few hundred a year.
- Focus on location and building: the two real differentiators between 34 similar units.
- For families: compare with Qurtubah first: six three-bedroom units from 95,000 SAR versus a single option at 140,400 here.
- Ask about the payment schedule and renewal terms before signing, not after.
