What is another word for capital of saudi arabia?
Pronunciation: [kˈapɪtə͡l ɒv sˈa͡ʊdi əɹˈe͡ɪbi͡ə] (IPA) 
Saudi Arabia's capital city is Riyadh, but there are several synonyms that might be used to refer to it in different contexts. Some people might simply use "Riyadh" as a synonym, while others might say "the Saudi capital" or "the capital of Saudi Arabia." Alternately, some might use less formal or journalistic terms such as "Riyadh City" or "the Heart of Arabia." For those who want to emphasize the historical significance of the city, the Arabic name "Ar-Riyadh Al-Mutawakkilah" (the steadfast Riyadh) might be used. No matter which synonym is chosen, however, it is clear that Riyadh is a major cultural, economic, and political hub for the region.
