This page brings together the districts in Riyadh that our team has written guides for, so you can move from a sector to a district and then to the right property in a few steps.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"structure\">How Are Districts in Riyadh Organised Today? From 16 Municipalities to 5 Sectors<\/h2>\r\n<p>On 4 October 2025, the Riyadh Region Municipality launched the Riyadh Municipal Transformation programme and converted its 16 sub-municipalities into five municipal sectors, each overseeing a defined part of the city. Riyadh districts are now grouped administratively under North, Central, East, West and South.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/alrossais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/riyadh-16-municipalities-to-5-sectors.png\" alt=\"Riyadh's 16 sub-municipalities replaced by five municipal sectors, North, Central, East, West and South, in October 2025\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\r\n<figcaption>From 16 sub-municipalities to 5 municipal sectors (October 2025)<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n<h3>What Changed for Residents and Property Owners?<\/h3>\r\n<p>The new structure works on three levels: the municipality's deputyships supervise, the five sectors operate, and Madinati offices represent the municipality as the first point of contact for residents. The Madinati offices began receiving residents on 5 October 2025, from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, for customer service and requests.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Why Old Municipality Names Still Appear<\/h3>\r\n<p>You will still see names such as Olaya or Al Malaz municipality in property listings, older addresses and search results, because they were used for many years. The change affected who delivers municipal services; no published source says the district names themselves changed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"map\">The Riyadh Districts Map by Sector<\/h2>\r\n<p>This Riyadh map shows the five sectors and the main districts covered by our guides, highlighting the districts where we offer properties for rent.

This map from Al Rossais shows the main districts in each sector and links every district to its full guide and to apartments available for rent. 5 sectorsCurrent municipal structure 16 municipalitiesBefore October 2025 17 guidesEnglish district guides 12 propertiesAl Rossais on the map In this guide From 16 municipalities to 5 sectors The map by sector District names and guides Al Rossais properties on the map How to choose a district Questions people ask Abdulmohsin Al Rossais &amp; Sons Group Co. leases apartments, shops and offices across Riyadh, from Al Murabba and Al Batha in the centre to Al Sahafah in the north, Al Naseem in the east and Al Khalidiyah in the south. This page brings together the districts in Riyadh that our team has written guides for, so you can move from a sector to a district and then to the right property in a few steps. How Are Districts in Riyadh Organised Today? From 16 Municipalities to 5 Sectors On 4 October 2025, the Riyadh Region Municipality launched the Riyadh Municipal Transformation programme and converted its 16 sub-municipalities into five municipal sectors, each overseeing a defined part of the city. Riyadh districts are now grouped administratively under North, Central, East, West and South. From 16 sub-municipalities to 5 municipal sectors (October 2025) What Changed for Residents and Property Owners? The new structure works on three levels: the municipality&#8217;s deputyships supervise, the five sectors operate, and Madinati offices represent the municipality as the first point of contact for residents. The Madinati offices began receiving residents on 5 October 2025, from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, for customer service and requests. Why Old Municipality Names Still Appear You will still see names such as Olaya or Al Malaz municipality in property listings, older addresses and search results, because they were used for many years. The change affected who delivers municipal services; no published source says the district names themselves changed. The Riyadh Districts Map by Sector This Riyadh map shows the five sectors and the main districts covered by our guides, highlighting the districts where we offer properties for rent. It is an illustrative map of districts in Riyadh: it shows which sector each district sits in, not its exact boundaries.
