New information led officers to return to search for the 25-year-old near the A19 in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, on Monday, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.
Remains have been discovered buried there, which police "strongly suspect" was Ms Alayed, the force added.
In June 2014, Al-Khatib, from Gorton, was found guilty of her murder and sentenced to life with a minimum of 20 years imprisonment.
GMP said while no official identification had taken place Ms Alayed's family had been informed of the find.
Det Ch Insp Neil Higginson said: "More than a decade after her murder, we now strongly believe we have located Rania's body and are finally able to provide closure to her family, who we know have endured so much pain and grief over the years."
