Hillat al-Muʼaykaliyah (Arabic: حلة المعيقلية) or al-Muʼeiqiliah, and in Najdi vernacular pronunciation as al-Mugailiyah or al-Maigliah, was a residential quarter and a douar within the city walls in the erstwhile fortress-city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,[1][2][3] located west of Duhairah in the northwestern corner of the walled town. It contained the sub-quarter of Hillat al-Ata'if (Arabic: حلة العطايف) and al-Muʼeiqiliah Mosque, al-Ata'if Mosque as well as Ibn Suleiman School.[4][5][6] The douar ceased to exist in the aftermath of the demolition of city walls in 1950 and subsequent expansion of Riyadh into a metropolis between the 1950s and 1970s. It is today largely situated on the site of Al Maigliah Market Center in the Qasr Al Hukm District.[7][8][9]
The quarter was inhabited mostly by professionals and craftsmen[10] and was bounded by al-Suwailem Street from the east, al-Ghanaiy quarter from the south and al-Badiʼah Gate from the west, which served as the main northwestern entrance to the town.[11][12]
