Ghubaira (Arabic: حي غبيراء, romanizedḥaī Ġubaīrāʾ), alternatively at times al-Ghubairah,[1] (Arabic: حي الغبيرة, romanizedḥaī Ġubaīrah) is a residential neighborhood in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,[2] located west of al-Khalidiyyah and south of al-Oud in the sub-municipality of al-Batha.[3] It is named after the tribe of Bani Ghabar that once lived in the area[4] and is today inhabited mostly by overseas Afro-Arabs and Pakistanis.[5][6][7] The current state of the neighborhood came into being during the reign of King Saud bin Abdulaziz in the 1950s and 1960s.
