About Souq Al Balad

Your local marketplace for buying and selling — Saudi Arabia

What is Souq Al Balad?

Souq Al Balad is a classified-ads marketplace connecting buyers and sellers across Saudi Arabia. Anyone can browse thousands of listings for free without signing up. To publish a listing or a request, users create an account and verify a Saudi mobile number.

The platform does not process payments or handle shipping — buyers and sellers arrange those directly. Souq Al Balad provides the listing, search, and secure messaging tools.

Main features

• Post listings — photos, price and location across categories: vehicles, electronics, mobile phones, computers, home appliances, furniture and decor, real estate, and men's, women's and kids' sections.
• Post requests — describe what you are looking for and let sellers come to you.
• Distance search — set your location and a radius in kilometres to see the nearest listings first.
• Direct chat — message buyers and sellers inside the platform without exposing personal details.
• Product alerts — save what you are looking for with a target price and get notified the moment a matching listing appears.
• Smart market advisor — photograph an item and let the AI assistant suggest a title, description, category and a fair price.
• Favourites and ratings — save listings and rely on user ratings before buying.
• Multi-currency and bilingual — prices in Saudi Riyal or other currencies; browse in Arabic or English.
