About Dynamics

About Dynamics

Dynamics is a bilingual directory of businesses and entities in Saudi Arabia, and one of the products of Wathib.

The Kingdom's businesses, in Arabic and English

Dynamics is a directory of businesses and entities across Saudi Arabia: companies, government bodies, clinics, shops, restaurants and industry. Every listing gets a full page in Arabic and English carrying its activity, its city, ways to reach it and its location on the map.

It is built around the way people actually look something up: a half-remembered name, an activity and a neighbourhood, or a pin on a map. So you can browse by activity, by city or straight from the map — and search works in both languages however the name happens to be spelled.

Our story

Dynamics began inside Wathib as a research question: what would it take to describe Riyadh's businesses accurately, in Arabic and English at the same time, and keep that description current? The answer became a pipeline — collect from sources open to anyone, edit and check every record, publish a page a person can actually read — and then it became this directory. Riyadh came first because it is the densest and the hardest; the method is built to carry to the rest of the Kingdom.

Our mission

To make every business in the Kingdom findable in the language its customers actually search in — with details that are accurate, sourced, and correctable by the people they describe.

Our vision

A single reference for the Kingdom's businesses: bilingual by default, open to correction, and useful enough that looking something up takes one search instead of five.

How we work

Three rules govern what gets published here, and who gets to change it.

  1. Every listing is reviewed

    Nothing submitted goes live automatically — a person reads it first. And a listing is an entry, not a recommendation or an accreditation.

  2. Open sources, stated

    We compile from information already public (OSINT) and from what owners send us. The origin is stated on the page, and we buy nothing from data brokers.

  3. The page belongs to its subject

    Any listing can be corrected or removed at its subject's request, and the request arrives as a tracked record the team works through.

A Wathib product

Dynamics is one of Wathib's products

Wathib is a Saudi company based in Riyadh, founded in 2022, working across three linked disciplines: research, development and operations. It builds enterprise AI and sovereign software, and runs IT operations for regulated organisations.

Dynamics sits on the public side of that work: the same data handling and the same bilingual search, published for everyone rather than kept inside an enterprise platform.

Frequently asked questions

The questions we are asked most about the directory and about being listed in it.

What is Dynamics?

Dynamics is a bilingual directory of businesses and entities in Saudi Arabia. Every listing has its own page in Arabic and English carrying the activity, the city, ways to get in touch and the location on the map — and you can browse by activity, by city, or straight from the map.

How do I add my business to the directory?

Through the add a listing form: the name, the activity, the city, a way to reach you and a short description. Every submission is read by a person before it is published.

Is there a charge for being listed?

No. Adding a business — and correcting or removing it later — is free.

Something in my listing is wrong. How do I correct it?

Send the page link and the correction through the report content form. It arrives as a tracked request with a status against it, rather than as an email somebody has to remember to action.

Where do the listings come from?

Two places: what owners send us, and open-source intelligence (OSINT) — information already published on the open web, including public Google Maps listings, official registers and businesses' own websites. We buy nothing from data brokers and collect nothing from behind a login. The copyright and sourcing policy sets this out in full.

My business is listed and I never submitted it. Why?

Because its details were already public, and we compiled them from sources open to anyone — as a directory does. The page is still yours: you can correct it or ask for its removal at any time.
