Saudi Post (Arabic: البريد السعودي "سُبل") is a government operated postal system in Saudi Arabia; it is generally referred to within the kingdom as "al-Bareed". It was previously part of the Ministry of Post, Telegraph and Telephone.[2]

An efficient postal network now covers all the cities and villages of the Kingdom, with 478 main and 180 branch post offices.

In 2006, 858.1 million pieces of post were handled by a network of governmental and private post offices.

Saudi Post has evolved through two main phases. The first phase being the establishment of Saudi Arabia and the second the establishment of post by the late King Abdul Aziz bin Abdul Rahman Al-Saud.[3]
