Al-Masaniʽ (Template:Lang-ar) is a historical neighborhood and a subject of Al-Shifa Sub-Municipality in southern Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, south of al-Manfuhah.[1] The neighborhood traces its origins as an ancient agricultural village on the eastern edge of Wadi Hanifa in al-Yamama during pre-Islamic Arabia that was known for its cultivation of palm groves.[2][3] It was also mentioned in Yaqut al-Hamawi's 13th century work Kitāb Mu'jam al-Buldān (transl. Dictionary of Countries)[4] and was incorporated into the modern metropolis of Riyadh during its multiple phases of modernization and expansion during the 1950s and 1970s.
