Taiba Market
أسواق طيبة، حي الملك فهد، الرياض
A traditional market in King Fahd District, Riyadh, where hundreds of specialty shops sell gold jewellery, abayas, clothing, perfumes, gifts and home goods.
About the market
A long-standing souq in the heart of Riyadh
Taiba Market, also known as Taibah Markets or Souq Taibah, is one of Riyadh’s longest-standing shopping destinations. It sits on King Fahd Road in King Fahd District and remains a working marketplace for residents, families and visitors.
The complex is organised as indoor corridors of numbered shops rather than a single supermarket. Shoppers move between gold jewellers, abaya boutiques, perfume counters, clothing stores, tailoring suppliers and gift shops. Visit Saudi describes hundreds of specialty stores selling gold and jewellery, clothing, abayas, perfumes, gifts and more.
What makes the market distinctive is that mix: a gold souq with traditional and contemporary designs, an abaya section with tailoring and alterations, and neighbouring shops for everyday clothing, incense, housewares and souvenirs.
