About Al Jarradiyah

Al Jarradiyah is the last elevated station on Line 3 (Orange) for anyone travelling east — beyond it the line drops into the deep tunnel that carries it under central Riyadh. It serves the Al Jarradiyah district, which lies immediately west of the historic core and mixes housing with commerce and a number of government offices in the belt running towards Qasr Al Hokm. No other line calls here, but the station is only two stops from Qasr Al Hokm, where Line 3 and Line 1 (Blue) share a single station. Passengers use it to reach the district and its offices, or as an easy boarding point just before the line enters the crowded centre. It also makes a practical alternative to driving in: the streets ahead of it are narrow and congested, and the trains pass beneath them. The shift in character is obvious from the platform — westward the viaduct runs clear along the road, eastward the city closes in.

It sits between Sultanah and Courts Complex on Line 3.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Al Jarradiyah is on Line 3 (Orange) of the Riyadh Metro, which runs from Jeddah Road to Khashm Al An.
Because Line 3 runs on a viaduct for the whole of its western section, right up to this point. From the next station east, Courts Complex, it descends into a deep tunnel and stays underground while it crosses historic central Riyadh and its dense old quarters.
Not at the station itself — only Line 3 serves it. Qasr Al Hokm, however, is just two stops east, and there Line 3 (Orange) and Line 1 (Blue) share one station, so the change is made on the spot, without leaving the platforms or paying a second time.
Courts Complex, the first deep-tunnel station on Line 3, serving the judicial complex in central Riyadh and the offices around it. Qasr Al Hokm, in the historic heart of the city and the interchange with Line 1 (Blue), comes immediately after it.
Service at Al Jarradiyah station runs to the Riyadh Metro network hours: from 05:30 to 00:00 Saturday to Thursday, and on Friday from 10:00 to 00:00. Hours change during Ramadan and the Eid holidays and are announced at the time — check the schedule page before you travel.
Yes. There are ticket vending machines (TVMs) at Riyadh Metro stations, and you can buy a card or top it up there or at a ticket office. Note that the darb app does not top up the card balance — full details on the darb card page.
