The figures

We publish 32 maps of Makkah and Madinah, each under a name you can cite. The zone maps are drawn from the boundaries the Saudi Properties portal publishes and measured on the full boundary.

Using them

Cite one as “The Makkah Zone Plate, Zullfa, 2026-09-19 edition.” The measured data (distances, areas, the register's own codes and names, and the GeoJSON and CSV files) is published under CC BY 4.0, so you may reuse it anywhere, commercially too, with Zullfa named and linked. The drawings are ours, and the way to put one on your site is to link to it or use the PNG with the credit printed on it. The licence is one page, and the boundaries are here as GeoJSON.

We redraw the figures when the register changes. The edition date is on the drawing, in the file name and on the page, so a copy that has drifted says so.

  1. Saudi Properties portal — zone boundaries
    Zone areas and distances on this site come from the boundaries the Saudi Properties portal publishes for each zone; a distance is the straight line from the nearest point of that boundary to the Grand Mosque or the Prophet's Mosque, so the walk is always longer.

  2. Saudi Properties portal — zones · 23 Jun 2026
    The official interactive map of designated zones is published on the Saudi Properties portal at saudiproperties.rega.gov.sa/zones.
