Tahlia Street (Riyadh)

Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz Road (), better known as al-Tahlia Street () and al-Zaki Street (), is a 4.75 km east–west commercial thoroughfare in northern Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The street is named after the building of Saline Water Conversion Corporation, which is situated on its westernmost part. Tahliah Street is a popular attraction among youngsters since 2004, especially when the Saudi government introduced free Wi-Fi scheme in the avenue following its renovation by Omrania and Associates. It hosts several outlets of multinational chains of restaurants and cafeterias. The street has been compared to the Champs-Élysées avenue in Paris, France and most of its visitors flock during weekends, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha and national holidays.

It branches out from Prince Turki bin Abdulaziz al-Awwal Road in al-Maʼdhar neighborhood and terminates at Prince Abdulaziz ibn Mosa’ad bin Jalawi Street in al-Sulaimaniyah district, cutting through al-Olaya.

The street began to lose its status of a preferred leisure destination by 2019 as a result of the emergence of new entertainment centers in Riyadh under Saudi Vision 2030.
