Prince Mohammed Bin Abdulaziz Road (Arabic: طريق الأمير محمد بن عبد العزيز), better known as al-Tahlia Street (Arabic: شارع التحلية, lit. 'the desalinating street') and al-Zaki Street (Arabic: شارع الذكي, lit. 'the smart street'),[1][2] 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,[3][4] which is situated on its westernmost part. Tahliah Street is a popular attraction among youngsters since 2004,[5] especially when the Saudi government introduced free Wi-Fi scheme in the avenue following its renovation by Omrania and Associates.[6] It hosts several outlets of multinational chains of restaurants and cafeterias.[7][8][9][10][11] The street has been compared to the Champs-Élysées avenue in Paris, France[12][13] and most of its visitors flock during weekends, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha and national holidays.[14][15]

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.[16]
