Echoes of Magliah: A Journey into the Old Market

Years back, Magliah was more than just a market, it was the beating heart of Riyadh. When there were no modern shopping malls and centers at that time, this is where everybody would go for everything. Merchants would cross deserts long distances, with spices, cloth, and valuable items from India, Persia, and even China.

The marketplace was always active, from early morning to late evening. There were no neon lights or giant billboards to advertise just shop owners shouting bargains, merchants haggling over prices, and kids dodging through the crowds, clutching bags of fresh bread or dates to be taken home.

Then, buying something wasn't just a passing transaction it was an experience. If you were buying a rug, you would sit down with the seller, have a cup of tea, and listen to the story of where it came from. If you were buying perfume, the seller would let you try different scents, telling you the ingredients and how they were made.

And the best part? Some of these traditions still exist today. There are still shopkeepers who have been here for generations, carrying on their family’s legacy, selling the same types of goods their grandfathers once did.

Even though the world outside has changed, Magliah has held onto its soul. Walking through its streets, you’re not just visiting a market—you’re stepping into a living piece of history.

Wouldn’t you love to experience that for yourself?
