Al-Bathaa

Al-Bathaa is a district in downtown Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and one of the oldest sections of the city.[1][2] Although it has lost its influence and is gradually being replaced by new shopping districts, the area is still known as an area for cheap lodging and shopping. It is a place where many nationalities are present, especially nationalities of the Indian sub-continent and south east Asians.[3]

It has many types of wholesale and gold markets as well. There are many showrooms of leading watch and electronic brands in this area.
