Diriyah
AL DIRIYAH
The Saudi Diriyah is an important place in Saudi Arabia. It is not just a regular city, but a symbol of the country’s national identity. This is because Diriyah was the capital of the first Saudi state. Diriyah is located just northwest of the city of Riyadh. Its name comes from the Durou’ tribe who settled in the Wadi Hanifah valley long ago. Diriyah has a long history dating back to before Islam. It was the headquarters of the Bani Hanifah tribe, who had migrated there from the Hijaz region and the Najd highlands. The city itself was later established by Mani’ bin Rabi’ah al-Muridi.
