Al Kharid
Written by MattyB and V3sta Slay3r
Al Kharid is the only free-play desert town in Runescape. You can find this great desert city south-east of Lumbridge. Usually Al Kharid is used by smithers because of the short distance between the bank and the furnace. You also might see people Runecrafting fire runes.

Map of the City
Attractions
(1) The Castle
The Al Kharid Castle is the home of the Al Kharid Soldiers. The castle is located in the center of the city right with a water fountain just outside in the courtyard. The castle has two floors in it. Inside the castle is Hassan, whom you have to talk to, to start the Prince Ali Rescue Quest. Wandering around, just outside of the palace is Osman. He also plays a part in the Prince Ali Rescue Quest, and if you're a member, you can begin the Sorceress' Garden Mini-Game by speaking to him.

Ground Floor:
First, we are going to take a look at the first floor of the castle. As you may have noticed Al Kharid Guards are everywhere. You can kill them, however if there is more than one near you, all nearby Al Kharid guards, which are level 9, will try to attack you. Members have a chance to pickpocket them if you have a thieving level of 25 and want to earn a little bit of money. You can gain 25 thieving XP.

Inside the castle on the bottom floor is nothing much but tables and chairs. Once in a while a guard will walk in there, but it's usually quite empty.
Top Floor:
Well the top floor isn't that interesting either. You can find tables, that you can put items on. You can also go out on the balcony and see the courtyard below you. You can't see any of the players though, only the items that are on the ground will show up.

(2) The Bank & Quest
In Al Kharid there is a bank. It is very helpful in many ways. On world 1 you can buy and sell cowhides for money. If you are selling it you usually get the better end of the deal because people sell them at such high prices. The Quest "Shadow of the Storm" can be started here

(3) Agility Shortcut
Northwest of the bank you can a strong tree. You cannot cut this tree, but you can swing from it! If you have a Mithril grappling hook, then this attraction on the map is just the place for you. In the River Lum, there is a broken raft with a “grapple” option. You can swing yourself to the raft, and then swing the hook to one of the strong trees. One way will take you to the Al-Kharid, and the other way is to the Lumbridge swamp. This shortcut requires a Mithril Grapple Hook, level-8 agility, and level-19 strength.

(4) The Furnace, Kebab Salesman & Tannery
Al Kharid is one of the best places to smelt ores. The bank is almost right next door and you can gain a lot of Smithing XP here. The majority of users here have banked massive amounts of ores, and use Al Kharid to smelt them.

These are some of the bars you can come up with when smelting the correct ores together.
In the room where the range is there is also a person selling Kebabs. They will sometimes heal your health but sometimes they knock a little HP off you. So if you are really low on HP I wouldn't take the risk. You can buy the kebabs for 1 gp. The kebab seller says he makes the best kebabs in the world!
The building beside the Furnace is where you'll find the Tanner. He will exchange your regular Cow or Dragon hides for Leather of that type. Of course this costs money. Though the price depends on what type you get.
