Department Stores in Riyadh

Specialties and Product Categories

The listed department stores differ most clearly in their retail focus and product coverage. Harvey Nichols focuses on luxury fashion, beauty, accessories, fragrances, shoes and food and beverages, while Rubaiyat Department Store covers luxury fashion for women, men and children together with perfumes and home products.

Marks & Spencer has a narrower documented emphasis on women's, men's and children's clothing. Both Centrepoint locations cover a broader family-retail mix that includes women's and men's fashion, kids' products, beauty, shoes, accessories and home products.

Harvey Nichols is also the only listed establishment with documented brands in the supplied data, including Oscar de la Renta, Monique Lhuillier, Givenchy, Stella McCartney, Fendi, Theory, Alexander Wang, Gianvito Rossi, N°21, Malone Souliers and Eton.

Shopping Services and Fulfilment Options

Documented shopping services provide another way to distinguish the listed department stores. Harvey Nichols offers personal shopping, home delivery and collect in store, with both delivery and pickup explicitly documented as available.

Marks & Spencer documents click and collect returns as a service at the Hayat Mall branch. These service differences can matter when a shopper wants assistance with product selection or a specific fulfilment option rather than only an in-store purchase.

Locations, Neighborhoods and Mall Settings

The listed department stores are distributed across Al Olaya and King Fahd and include both mall-based and standalone settings. Harvey Nichols is located in Al Faisaliah Mall in Al Olaya, while Rubaiyat Department Store is also in Al Olaya.

Marks & Spencer is inside Hayat Mall in King Fahd. Centrepoint's Gallery Mall branch is on the first floor of Riyadh Gallery near Gates 2 and 3, while its King Abdulla Road branch is documented as a standalone location on King Abdullah Branch Road in King Fahd.

Opening Hours and Visit Timing

Opening-hour patterns differ most noticeably on Fridays and in closing times.

Rubaiyat Department Store generally operates 10:00-23:00 and opens on Friday at 16:30.

Marks & Spencer at Hayat Mall follows 10:00-23:00 on the documented non-Friday days and opens at 15:00 on Friday. Both Centrepoint branches have the same supplied schedule: 09:30-00:30 on the documented non-Friday days and 13:00-00:30 on Friday.

Ratings and Review Counts

The supplied Google Maps data pairs each rating with its review volume. Harvey Nichols has a rating of 4.2 from 2041 reviews, Rubaiyat Department Store has 3.7 from 525 reviews, and Marks & Spencer at Hayat Mall has 4.0 from 1497 reviews.

Centrepoint on King Abdulla Road has a rating of 4.1 from 3235 reviews, while Centrepoint at Gallery Mall has 4.0 from 1266 reviews. Ratings and review counts provide different signals: the score summarizes reviewer ratings, while the review count shows the volume of submitted reviews without establishing which store is more suitable for a particular shopper.

How to Choose a Department Store in Riyadh

Choose a department store by matching the purpose of the visit with documented product categories, retail focus, location, opening schedule and available services. Shoppers seeking luxury fashion, beauty and accessories can compare the documented focus of Harvey Nichols and Rubaiyat Department Store, while shoppers prioritizing family clothing can consider the documented ranges at Marks & Spencer and Centrepoint.

Location can narrow the choice further. Al Faisaliah Mall, Hayat Mall and Riyadh Gallery provide mall-based settings, while the Centrepoint King Abdulla Road branch is documented as a standalone location. Opening times also differ, particularly on Fridays and for late-evening shopping.

Service needs can be decisive when they are documented: Harvey Nichols offers personal shopping, home delivery and collect in store, while Marks & Spencer documents click and collect returns. Before making a time-sensitive visit, confirm the current opening schedule directly with the relevant establishment.
