Al Deira Market (Arabic: أسواق الديرة), also known as Souq Ushaiger (Arabic: سوق أشيقر) is a traditional shopping center in the ad-Dirah district of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, located in the Qasr al-Hukm District. It contains 400 shops that specialize in the sale of handicrafts, imported fabrics and carpets.[1] It emerged from the ruins of Qasiriya Ibn Qulaib (Arabic: قيصرية ابن كليب) and Souq al-Mughaibrah (Arabic: سوق المقيبرة) is alternately named after the town of Ushaiger, where most of the shopkeepers once came from. The market's origins can be traced back 19th century during the era of Second Saudi State and was rebuilt by the Riyadh Holding Company[2] in its current form during the second phase of the Qasr Al Hukm District Development Project between 1988 and 1992.
