Ghubaira

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