About As Salam

As Salam sits in south-eastern Riyadh and is served by Line 6 (Purple) alone, from a platform raised above the street. Its place in the network is close to the end of the arc: Khurais Road is the stop before it, and directly after it comes An Naseem, the Purple Line's terminus and its shared station with Line 3 (Orange). The area around it is mostly residential, filled out with the ordinary furniture of a Riyadh neighbourhood — retail parades, mosques, the services people use in a normal week. Being the last stop before the end of the line gives it a particular pattern: passengers use it in two opposite directions with roughly equal purpose. One is south-east to An Naseem, a single stop away, to pick up Line 3 for the city centre and the southern districts. The other is north-west, through Khurais Road and Al Hamra to SABIC and on to the King Abdullah Financial District, the whole way on one train.

It sits between Khurais Road and An Naseem on Line 6.

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

As Salam is on Line 6 (Purple) of the Riyadh Metro, which runs from KAFD to An Naseem.
An Naseem, which is both the terminus of Line 6 (Purple) and a station shared with Line 3 (Orange). Anyone heading for the Orange Line only needs to stay on for one more stop in the south-easterly direction and then change on the spot, inside the same station.
One ride on Line 6 (Purple), in the direction away from An Naseem. The train calls at Khurais Road, Al Andalus, Al Hamra, Al Yarmuk and Granadia on the way to SABIC, then carries on over the trunk it shares with Line 4 (Yellow) as far as KAFD. No change of train is needed.
Elevated: the platform stands above street level. An Naseem, the next station and the end of the line, is different — it was built as a shallow underground station beneath the road, and that is what allows the change to Line 3 (Orange) to happen inside a single station.
Service at As Salam 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.
