Orientation
Al Narjis is north Riyadh at family scale: larger homes, quieter streets, and the airport closer than the city centre.
The district lies in the north of the capital. Amlak, reporting in November 2025, describes it as connected to Prince Faisal bin Bandar Road and Jabal Al-Soudah Road and linked to King Salman Road and King Fahd Road, and close to the Khuzam suburb, King Khalid International Airport and the King Salman International Airport now under construction.
That position defines who lives here. From the published coordinates of the two completed compounds in the district, King Khalid International Airport is about 10 km away in a straight line, while the King Abdullah Financial District is 14 to 15 km and Kingdom Centre more than 20 km. It suits households who travel often, or who work in the north, more than those commuting daily to Olaya.
The Kingdom’s foreign-ownership law took effect on 22 January 2026 and treats Riyadh by designated zone. Whether a particular Al Narjis address qualifies for a non-resident buyer is checked property by property on the official Saudi Properties platform, never assumed from the district name.

Life here
Built around the household.
The compound is the unit of life here: shared clubs and play areas inside the gate, private space behind the door.
Townhouses with room
The completed homes here are three bedroom townhouses of roughly 414 to 476 square metres by stated area, larger than most apartments and simpler to run than a standalone villa.
Facilities inside the gate
At Sadu the developer lists clubs, majlis rooms, prayer rooms, games lounges, green spaces and a children’s play area, with smart entry and smart home systems.
A regional architecture
Sadu is designed in the Salmani style, and Derwaza works in ochre walls, arches and glazed internal courtyards: homes that turn inward for privacy and shade.

Two completed compounds in Al Narjis carry published detail today: Sadu and Derwaza. Prices on the shelf are the developer’s list prices before the 5% transaction tax. For the architecture behind them, read the Omnia Journal on the Salmani style.

The Omnia Riyadh desk · October 2026
l Narjis answers a simple question: how much home can a family have in north Riyadh without leaving the city?
On the road north.
Riyadh’s growth has pushed steadily north, and Al Narjis sits on that axis, between the established districts nearer the centre and the airport. Its links, as Amlak describes them, run along Prince Faisal bin Bandar Road and Jabal Al-Soudah Road and out to King Salman Road and King Fahd Road. The King Salman International Airport now being built will sit in the same direction, which makes the district’s northward orientation a long-term feature rather than an accident.
A completed townhouse you can walk through is a different purchase from a render.
What the townhouses cost.
The clearest current evidence is the developer’s own price list for the two completed compounds. On 1 October 2026 Sadu, 64 townhouses, listed its available three bedroom homes from SAR 1,919,000 to SAR 2,569,000 before the 5% transaction tax, a median of about SAR 4,877 per square metre of stated area. At Derwaza, 70 townhouses, the last two listed homes were priced at SAR 2,000,000, and 83% of its listed homes were sold or booked.
Those per-metre figures look low beside north Riyadh apartments because the stated areas are large and include roofs and yards. Compare homes by internal area and by what the compound includes, not by the headline rate.
What to check before you buy.
Both compounds are completed, so the checks differ from off-plan. Inspect the actual home, not a show unit. Ask what the compound service charge covers and how the shared facilities are run. Confirm finance early: the developer accepts bank mortgages on both. And for a non-Saudi buyer, confirm the plot against REGA’s designated zones, or your residency route, before reserving.

The practical part, before you look.
Ownership & rules
- Who can own
- Saudi and GCC nationals can already own. For other foreign buyers the framework took effect on 22 January 2026, and the Cabinet approved the designated geographic zones in June 2026, administered by REGA. The zones are drawn on maps, not district names, so we confirm a specific building against the REGA record rather than relying on the neighbourhood.
- What you hold
- Freehold title where a building sits inside a designated zone. Established stock is already titled, so ownership tends to be cleaner to verify than on unbuilt land.
- Residency
- The Premium Residency real estate route starts at SAR 4m of appraised, unmortgaged residential property and holds for as long as eligibility, including the ownership, is maintained. Cash routes exist alongside it for those who prefer not to anchor residency to one home.
- Taxes
- A one-off 5% real estate transaction tax on purchase, and that is broadly the headline cost. There is no recurring tax on a completed home and no individual capital gains tax when you sell one.
- Letting
- Long lets register through the Ejar platform. Short-let host permits are currently restricted to Saudi nationals, though a licensed operator route exists. We map which applies before you bank on rental income.
What it costs to buy
Rules and figures reflect the framework as last verified and can change. Your advisor confirms the current position, and eligibility for a specific building, before you commit.

Frequently asked
Before you enquire.
Where is Al Narjis in Riyadh?
In north Riyadh, linked to King Salman Road and King Fahd Road and close to King Khalid International Airport, which is about 10 km away in a straight line from the district’s two completed compounds.
How much are townhouses for sale in Al Narjis?
On 1 October 2026 three bedroom townhouses at Sadu were listed from SAR 1,919,000 to SAR 2,569,000, and the last two at Derwaza at SAR 2,000,000, all before the 5% transaction tax.
Are the homes in Al Narjis ready to move into?
The two compounds with published detail, Sadu and Derwaza, are completed, and the developer accepts bank finance on both.
Can foreigners buy property in Al Narjis?
It depends on the buyer and the plot. Since 22 January 2026 non-Saudis can own inside REGA’s designated zones, and a legally resident non-Saudi may own one home for personal use outside them. Omnia checks the specific property before you commit.
Is Al Narjis good for families?
That is its core appeal: larger townhouses and villas, gated compounds with shared facilities, and quick access to the airport. The trade-off is distance from Olaya and the financial district.
