Saudi Arabia Points of Interest from OpenStreetMap, Including Amenities and Shops

OpenStreetMap exports from the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team contain all features in Saudi Arabia tagged as amenities, man-made structures, shops, or tourism sites. The dataset includes attributes such as name, address, opening hours, and capacity details like beds and rooms. It was last updated on 2026-03-03 and is available in multiple geospatial formats under the ODbL license.

Use Cases

• Mapping retail and service locations based on the 'shop' and 'amenity' tags.
• Analyzing tourism infrastructure density using the 'tourism' and 'man_made' tags.
• Building address validation or geocoding services based on the 'addr:*' attribute fields.
• Assessing facility capacity for planning using the 'beds' and 'rooms' attributes.

Strengths

• Data is derived from the collaborative OpenStreetMap project, offering a community-vetted source.
• Includes multilingual name tags ('name:en', 'name:ar') which may support localization.
• Available in five standard geospatial formats (GARMIN IMG, GEOPACKAGE, GEOJSON, SHP, KML) for flexibility.

Limitations

• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is in the future (2026-03-03).
