Qasr Al-Hukm Metro Station (Arabic: محطة قطار قصر الحكم) is a rapid transit interchange station in the Al-Qiri neighborhood of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It serves the Blue Line and Orange Line of the Riyadh Metro and is located south of the Qasr Al-Hukm District.[1]
Overview
Designed in 2012 by Snøhetta,[2] the station resembles a stainless-steel canopy resting on a large slanted wall that incorporates elements of Najdi architectural style.[3]
It covers an area of 22,500 square meters and is one of the four interchange stations of the Riyadh Metro.[4][5]
Qasr Al-Hukm station precedes the Al-Owd station and succeeds the Al-Bat'ha station on the Blue Line. On the Orange Line, it comes before Al-Hilla station and after the Courts Complex station.[6]
The designs for the station were finalized in 2012 and construction work began in 2014. By 2015, it was reported that 60% excavations were completed on the site.[7]
The station opened to the public on February 26, 2025.[8]
