About Bank Albilad
Bank Albilad is a deep tunnel station on Line 1 (Blue), standing on King Fahad Road in Olaya and named after the bank's headquarters nearby. It falls between Alinma Bank and King Fahad Library, in the middle of the line's crossing of Riyadh's densest office axis. It is one of three consecutive stops here to carry a bank's name, which says a good deal about what this part of King Fahad Road is for. Around it are administrative towers, hotels and commercial frontages, with streets running east towards As Sulaimaniyah and west into King Fahad District. The great majority of its passengers are commuters: in to the corridor's offices in the morning, out again in the evening, which gives the station two sharp peaks and quiet hours in between. Only Line 1 serves it — for Line 2 (Red) the change is at stc to the north, and for Line 5 (Green) at National Museum to the south.
It sits between Alinma Bank and King Fahad Library 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.
