Al Kharid is a city in the north of the Kharidian Desert. It is the only desert city open to non-members, and players in the city do not suffer from the desert effect. Al Kharid is ruled by the Emir, although the vast majority of the work has been taken over by Chancellor Hassan since the Emir's son was kidnapped.
This city is particularly useful to powerminers because of the nearby Mining area, which contains tin, copper, iron, silver, gold, mithril, adamantite, and coal rocks.

Travel[edit | edit source]
- From Lumbridge, use the toll gate which costs either 10 coins, or if you have completed the Prince Ali Rescue quest, the gate is free.

- Members that have completed The Grand Tree quest can use the gnome glider to travel to and from Al Kharid.
- Members can also use a ring of dueling to teleport to the Duel Arena, just northeast of Al Kharid.
- Members can use an amulet of glory to teleport inside the palace, on the ground floor[?] in the southern room.
- Members can also get to Al Kharid via the one-way ladder from Zanaris' market area.
- Members can also come from the south via the Shantay Pass.
- Members can use the level 8 Agility shortcut to get to and from Lumbridge Swamp.
Al Kharid contains the closest bank to a range as well as two reasonably close fishing spots. It also houses a tanner, Ellis. In free-to-play RuneScape, Al Kharid's furnace is the second-closest to a bank, after Edgeville's furnace.
Bank[edit | edit source]
Al Kharid's bank is to the southwest of the city. The bank is populated largely by craftsmen, smiths and chefs, largely due to the proximity of the tanner, range and furnace. In the free worlds, it often has many players buying and selling cowhides.
Shops[edit | edit source]

The scimitar shop is northeast of the bank.
Stocks:
You can also ask for a dragon scimitar. If you do this, Zeke makes several puns regarding the Monkey Madness I quest required to buy a dragon scimitar: "The banana-brained nitwits who make them would never sell any to me. Seriously, you'll be a monkey's uncle before you hold a Dragon Scimitar."
