What makes a realistic test address for Saudi Arabia and the region?
A realistic address follows the structure the country actually uses. The Saudi National Address has a four-digit building number, a street, a district, a city, a five-digit postal code and a four-digit additional number; other countries in the region use different fields and postal-code shapes, and some have none. Forms that were only ever tested with a US-style street, state and ZIP code reject valid local addresses — test data should carry the real structure, Arabic and Latin spellings, and the long district names that overflow labels.

}Frequently asked questions about Saudi Address Test Data
What is the Saudi National Address format?
Building number (4 digits), street, district, city, postal code (5 digits) and additional number (4 digits), optionally a unit number. The tool also produces the 8-character short address (4 letters + 4 digits).
Are the districts and postal codes real?
Yes — districts such as Al Olaya, Al Malqa, Al Hamra or Al Faisaliyah and their city postal codes are genuine, so validators that check postal-code ranges accept the data. Building and additional numbers are random.
Can I get the address in both languages?
Yes. Choose English, Arabic or both; the bilingual option returns Arabic and English street, district, city and formatted lines side by side.
What is the additional number in a Saudi address?
It is the second number of a Saudi National Address, next to the building number: a four-digit code (6666 in the official address-format example) that locates the building more precisely within its district. It is not the apartment or office number, which is the separate unit number. In this tool it is random, so it never points at a real building.
Does each address include coordinates and a region?
Yes. Every record carries lat/lng placed randomly within about 0.08° (roughly 8 km) of the centre of one of nine cities — Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar, Makkah, Madinah, Abha, Tabuk and Buraydah — plus the administrative region (for example Eastern Province) in the selected language. The coordinates are approximate, meant for map and distance tests, not the building's real location.
Technical notes
The National Address identifies a location by building number, postal code and additional number, and the official 8-character short address is a compact unique code for that location. Here the short address is four random letters followed by the building number, so it does not encode the generated city, district, postal code or additional number. Districts and postal codes come from real data so range validators pass, but the postal code is picked from the city list and is not matched to the district; building and additional numbers are random and do not resolve to a real door.
