Al-Quna’i (Arabic: حلة القناعي), or in Najdi vernacular pronunciation as al-Ghanaiy, was a quarter and a douar within the city walls in the erstwhile fortress-city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,[1][2] located between Mugailiyah and Muraighib in the northwestern part of the walled town.[3][4]

The quarter was attributed to the family of al-Qanaiʼy, who owned the land in the area[5] and hosted two small markets, Qaisiriya Ibn Qulaib (later Souq al-Ushaiger) and Qaisiriya Prince Saad bin Abdullah.[6][7][8][9][10]
