RIYADH METRO QASR AL HOKM Station

Qasr Al Hokm Station – Riyadh Metro

Qasr Al Hokm Station is a landmark metro station located in the historic core of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Serving Line 1 (the Blue Line) of the Riyadh Metro, the station is strategically positioned near cultural icons such as the Imam Turki Bin Abdullah Grand Mosque and the Al Masmak Fortress, making it a vital link between Riyadh’s rich heritage and its modern urban future.

Designed by the world-renowned Zaha Hadid Architects, the station combines futuristic architecture with traditional Najdi elements, reflecting the unique identity of the Qasr Al Hokm district. Its sleek, flowing forms evoke the desert landscape while integrating with the cultural context of old Riyadh. The underground structure spans multiple levels, offering efficient passenger flow and seamless connectivity to other modes of transport including buses, taxis, and pedestrian paths.

Developed as part of the Riyadh Metro’s Package 1 by the BACS Consortium (Bechtel, Almabani, CCC, and Siemens), the station features sustainable design strategies suited to the local climate, such as natural ventilation and daylighting. Beyond its functional role, Qasr Al Hokm Station is expected to revitalize the surrounding area economically and socially by reducing traffic congestion and improving accessibility to government offices, markets, and religious landmarks.

As one of the signature stations of the Riyadh Metro, Qasr Al Hokm is more than a transit point—it is a symbol of Riyadh’s transformation into a modern, connected, and culturally rooted capital.
