About Manfouhah

Manfouhah carries the name of one of the oldest settlements in Wadi Hanifah, absorbed into Riyadh as the city spread. The station is elevated, on the Line 1 (Blue) viaduct, and no other line serves it. Today Manfouhah is a dense southern district that mixes housing with small-scale commerce and is home to a large expatriate population — one of those parts of Riyadh where public transport, rather than the private car, carries the daily load. That makes the station something its neighbours depend on directly, for getting to work and to services in the centre and the north of the city. It sits between Skirinah to the north and Al Iman Hospital to the south, on the stretch of line running down towards the southern edge of Riyadh. Both neighbours are elevated too, so the line runs on its viaduct without interruption from Skirinah all the way down to the terminus at Ad Dar Al Baida.

It sits between Skirinah and Al Iman Hospital on Line 1.

It is an elevated 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.
