Shalaga cemetery (Arabic: مقبرة شلقا),[1] is a public cemetery and a historic burial ground in the ad-Dirah neighborhood of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.[2][3][4][5] It was one of the two main graveyards used by the inhabitants of the old walled town, the other being al-Mughaibrah[6] and was situated outside of the city fortifications in the northeast. The cemetery is the resting place of Turki bin Abdullah al-Saud, leader of the Second Saudi State from 1824 to 1834.[7]
