Saudi Arabia unveils the groundbreaking first phase of the Riyadh Metro project: Video
On December 1, after more than a decade of construction, Saudi Arabia celebrated the completion of the first phase of the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) Metro station.
Inspired by local heritage, this station marks a major milestone in the nation's infrastructure development. The metro system, one of the largest globally, includes six lines covering 176 kilometres and 85 stations, with an estimated cost of around $25 billion. Although not fully operational yet, the modern, automated, and driverless trains will eventually transport up to 3.6 million passengers once all lines are completed.
