About Airport T3-4

Airport T3-4 serves Terminals 3 and 4 of King Khalid International Airport and is the middle one of the line's three airport stations. It stands within the airport grounds at the far northern tip of Riyadh, elevated above street level, and only Line 4 (Yellow) runs through it — the line that ties the airport to northern Riyadh and, further on, to the King Abdullah Financial District. Coming from the south, trains call at Airport T5 first, then here, then continue to Airport T1-2 at the end of the line. Because the terminal numbers are the only thing separating the three stations from one another, it pays to check your boarding pass before stepping off: getting it wrong costs you an extra stop out and back. In the other direction, this is a one-seat ride into the city with no change of train, running back down through the Princess Nourah University stations and SABIC to the financial district at the far end of the line.

It sits between Airport T5 and Airport T1-2 on Line 4.

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.
