About The northern districts: Hittin, Al Nakheel and Al Yasmin
North of the centre, the districts of Hittin, Al Nakheel, Al Mohammadiyyah, Al Malqa and Al Yasmin are where much of Riyadh eats and goes out. Boulevard City is one of the main zones of Riyadh Season in winter; Al Takhassusi Street and The Zone gather restaurants such as Em Sherif Café and Mirzam; and in Al Yasmin, Tameesa and Aseeb cook Saudi food.
