What are area layers?

Area layers are additional geographic information shown in different colours over the map. They help you understand a location's classification when data is available.

Currently available types

Shown only when available:

  • Removal area.
  • Informal area.
  • Blocked site.
  • Frozen land.
  • Development project.
  • Non-Saudi ownership zone.
  • Planning restriction.

How to work with the layers

  • A location may fall within more than one layer at the same time.
  • A development project does not cancel out another restriction.
  • Each layer shows an independent card when you click the location.
  • A layer does not appear if it has no data.
  • The legend at the top of the map shows the available types.

Notice: Layers and coverage vary by city and source, and the information is for guidance.
