About Alinma Bank
Alinma Bank takes its name from the bank's headquarters on King Fahad Road immediately beside it, and is a deep tunnel station on Line 1 (Blue) in Olaya, between Al Urubah and Bank Albilad. This stretch has become the network's banking quarter: three consecutive stations named after major financial institutions strung along the same corridor. The passengers reflect that — finance staff and office workers from the surrounding blocks, plus visitors to the hotels and commercial premises scattered through Olaya. The tunnel here runs deep because the line passes underneath one of the busiest axes in the city, which is precisely what makes the metro a workable alternative to driving at peak times. Only Line 1 serves the station; the nearest interchange is stc, three stops to the north, while National Museum to the south is the meeting point with Line 5 (Green). The name catches out first-time visitors now and then — what you actually arrive in is Olaya, a few minutes on foot from Al Urubah Road, not a district called Alinma.
It sits between Al Urubah and Bank Albilad on Line 1.
It is a deep underground station and runs to the network hours: 5:30 am to midnight Saturday to Thursday, and from 10:00 am on Friday. The SAR 4 two-hour ticket covers the metro and the buses. Below you will find the station on the map, journey times, interchanges and facilities.
