2026<\/time> \u00b7 By the Al Rossais team<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"answer\"><p><strong>Quick answer:<\/strong> King Fahd District is a residential and commercial district in the older part of north Riyadh, formerly under Al Olaya Municipality, covering about 4.8 km\u00b2. It is bounded by King Fahd Road to the west, King Abdulaziz Road to the east, Imam Saud bin Abdulaziz bin Mohammed Road to the north and King Abdullah Road to the south, and two Blue Line metro stations serve it along Olaya Street.<\/p><\/div>\r\n<p class=\"spell\">You may also see it written as King Fahad District or Al Malik Fahd (\u062d\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0644\u0643 \u0641\u0647\u062f). All three names refer to the same Riyadh district.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"facts\">\r\n<div class=\"fact\"><b>Al Olaya<\/b><span>Former municipality<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"fact\"><b>4.8 <small>km\u00b2<\/small><\/b><span>Approximate area<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"fact\"><b>2 <small>stations<\/small><\/b><span>Riyadh Metro Blue Line<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"fact\"><b>8 <small>districts<\/small><\/b><span>Around its edges<\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<nav class=\"toc\" aria-label=\"Guide contents\"><strong>In this guide<\/strong>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li><a href=\"#boundaries\">Boundaries and neighbouring districts<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"#metro\">The two Blue Line stations<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"#services\">Schools, healthcare and parks<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"#housing\">Housing: villas, floors and apartments<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"#checks\">Four checks before you sign<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"#faq\">Questions people ask<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ol><\/nav>\r\n<\/header>\r\n\r\n<p>People look up King Fahd District for two reasons: it sits between four of Riyadh's main roads, and it has two metro stations of its own on Olaya Street. This guide brings together what to know before moving here or buying here: the official boundaries, the districts around it, schools, healthcare and parks, and what to check before signing a lease.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"boundaries\">Four Major Roads Frame the District: Boundaries and Neighbours<\/h2>\r\n<p>The district lies in the older part of north Riyadh and was administered by Al Olaya Municipality. In October 2025 the Riyadh Region Municipality replaced its 16 sub-municipalities with five sectors (North, Central, East, West and South), served by \"Madinati\" offices. Olaya Street runs through it from north to south, and that is where most shops, offices and both metro stations are found.

Riyadh Gallery Mall is inside the district, and the area is also home to Marina Mall, the embassies of Romania and Niger, and the Association for Disabled Children. The mix explains its character: villas and residential floors on the inner streets, with shops and offices on the roads around it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"map\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=King%20Fahd%20District%2C%20Riyadh&z=14&output=embed\" title=\"King Fahd District, Riyadh on Google Maps\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"metro\">Two Blue Line Stations: Getting Around by Riyadh Metro<\/h2>\r\n<p>When people search for the King Fahad District metro station, they often do not realise there are two of them. Both sit on Line 1 (Blue), which runs along Olaya Street, and they are consecutive stops inside the district. Most published guides to the area leave the metro out entirely.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<figure>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/alrossais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/king-fahad-district-metro-station-blue-line.png\" alt=\"King Fahad District metro stations 1 and 2 on Riyadh Metro Blue Line between Al Muruj and STC\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\r\n<figcaption>Station order on the Blue Line, north to south<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"tw\"><table>\r\n<caption class=\"sr\">Riyadh Metro Line 1 stations around King Fahd District, north to south<\/caption>\r\n<thead><tr><th>Order (north \u2192 south)<\/th><th>Station<\/th><th>Note<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr><td>1<\/td><td>KAFD (King Abdullah Financial District)<\/td><td>Interchange with Lines 4 and 6<\/td><\/tr>\r\n<tr><td>2<\/td><td>Al Muruj<\/td><td>Neighbouring district to the north<\/td><\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"hl\"><td>3<\/td><td>King Fahd District<\/td><td>Inside the district<\/td><\/tr>\r\n<tr class=\"hl\"><td>4<\/td><td>King Fahd District 2<\/td><td>Inside the district<\/td><\/tr>\r\n<tr><td>5<\/td><td>STC<\/td><td>Interchange with Line 2 (Red)<\/td><\/tr>\r\n<tr><td>6<\/td><td>Al Wurud 2<\/td><td>Neighbouring district to the south<\/td><\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\r\n\r\n<h3>King Fahad District Metro Station<\/h3>\r\n<p>This is the northern of the two stops. KAFD is two stops away (Al Muruj, then KAFD), where you can change to Lines 4 and 6, which makes it a practical stop for people who work in the financial district.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>King Fahad District 2 Metro Station<\/h3>\r\n<p>This is the southern stop. The very next station is STC, where the Blue Line meets the Red Line running along King Abdullah Road, so residents in the southern half of the district can reach east and west Riyadh with a single change.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"services\">Schools, Healthcare and Green Space Within the District<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<figure>\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/alrossais.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/king-fahd-district-riyadh-schools-healthcare-parks.png\" alt=\"King Fahd District Riyadh services: schools, primary healthcare, King Fahd District Park and metro\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\r\n<figcaption>Everyday services inside the district<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n<h3>Schools From Kindergarten to Secondary<\/h3>\r\n<p>Schools here cover every stage for boys and girls, in both the government and private sectors:<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"tw\"><table>\r\n<thead><tr><th>Group<\/th><th>What the district offers<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr><td>Boys<\/td><td>11 government and private schools at primary, intermediate and secondary level, including a private Quran memorisation primary school<\/td><\/tr>\r\n<tr><td>Girls<\/td><td>Government schools at all three stages, including Primary School 261, and Al Imaar private Quran schools<\/td><\/tr>\r\n<tr><td>Private education<\/td><td>Al Enaya private schools at every stage<\/td><\/tr>\r\n<tr><td>Kindergarten<\/td><td>A government kindergarten, Al Enaya's kindergarten section and a private comprehensive kindergarten<\/td><\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\r\n<p class=\"note\"><b>Tip:<\/b> schools and their catchment can change from year to year. Confirm the school and its admission area through the Noor system or the local education office before choosing a home around it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Primary Healthcare and Private Clinics<\/h3>\r\n<p>The district has a government primary healthcare centre, booked through the Sehhaty app, as well as a girls' health centre run by the Ministry of Education. On the private side there are clinics and medical centres such as Majed Al Mutlaq Clinics and Ajyal Medical Center, with pharmacies along the main streets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>King Fahd District Park and Smaller Gardens<\/h3>\r\n<p>Alongside King Fahd District Park, residents have Al Maram Park, Al Fajr Park and gardens beside the Zaid bin Haritha and Ali bin Abi Talib mosques. These are neighbourhood-scale parks, suited to daily walks and children's play rather than large city parks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"housing\">Housing in the District: Villas, Floors and Apartment Buildings<\/h2>\r\n<p>Villas dominate the inner streets, alongside apartment buildings and independent floors, while commercial and office buildings line Olaya Street and the boundary roads. That is why living here can feel very different on a quiet inner street than in a building facing a main road.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Renting an Apartment or Floor Here<\/h3>\r\n<p>Renters mostly find two options: apartments in residential buildings, and independent floors inside villas that suit families wanting more space. We do not quote an average rent, because the figures circulating online do not name a source; the more reliable reference is the documented contracts and rental indicators on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ejar.sa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ejar platform<\/a>. If you are flexible on location, browse our <a href=\"https:\/\/alrossais.com\/en\/apartments-for-rent-in-north-riyadh\/\">apartments for rent in North Riyadh<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Buying a Villa: What to Verify<\/h3>\r\n<p>Before making an offer on a villa here, check the title deed, the build year and the actual area against the registered area, and review completed deals in the district on the Ministry of Justice Real Estate Exchange. The full process is in our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/alrossais.com\/en\/buying-a-house-in-riyadh\/\">buying a house in Riyadh<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Check the Broker's FAL Licence First<\/h3>\r\n<p>Before dealing with any real estate office, ask for the broker's FAL licence number and verify it with the <a href=\"https:\/\/rega.gov.sa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Real Estate General Authority<\/a>, and do not pay a deposit until the terms are clear. Our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/alrossais.com\/en\/real-estate-brokerage-saudi-arabia\/\">real estate brokerage contracts<\/a> explains what the agreement should cover.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"note\"><b>For transparency:<\/b> Al Rossais does not currently own buildings inside this district.

It is bounded by King Fahd Road to the west, King Abdulaziz Road to the east, Imam Saud bin Abdulaziz bin Mohammed Road to the north and King Abdullah Road to the south, and two Blue Line metro stations serve it along Olaya Street. You may also see it written as King Fahad District or Al Malik Fahd (\u062d\u064a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0644\u0643 \u0641\u0647\u062f). All three names refer to the same Riyadh district. Al OlayaFormer municipality 4.8 km\u00b2Approximate area 2 stationsRiyadh Metro Blue Line 8 districtsAround its edges In this guide Boundaries and neighbouring districts The two Blue Line stations Schools, healthcare and parks Housing: villas, floors and apartments Four checks before you sign Questions people ask People look up King Fahd District for two reasons: it sits between four of Riyadh&#8217;s main roads, and it has two metro stations of its own on Olaya Street. This guide brings together what to know before moving here or buying here: the official boundaries, the districts around it, schools, healthcare and parks, and what to check before signing a lease. Four Major Roads Frame the District: Boundaries and Neighbours The district lies in the older part of north Riyadh and was administered by Al Olaya Municipality. In October 2025 the Riyadh Region Municipality replaced its 16 sub-municipalities with five sectors (North, Central, East, West and South), served by &#8220;Madinati&#8221; offices. Olaya Street runs through it from north to south, and that is where most shops, offices and both metro stations are found. If you are also comparing homes in neighbouring Olaya, see our apartments for rent in Olaya. The four roads around the district and its eight neighbours (illustrative, not to scale) King Fahd District boundaries and neighbouring districts by direction Direction Boundary road Neighbouring district North Imam Saud bin Abdulaziz bin Mohammed Road Al Muruj South King Abdullah Road Al Wurud East King Abdulaziz Road Al Mursalat West King Fahd Road Al Muhammadiyah The Four Corner Districts NortheastAl Masif SoutheastSalahuddin SouthwestAl Rahmaniyah NorthwestAl Nakheel That makes eight districts in total: four along its sides, separated from it by the main roads, and four at its corners. For the wider picture, see our guide to North Riyadh neighborhoods. Inner Streets and Landmarks That Shape the Area Besides Olaya Street, the district is connected by streets including Hisham bin Abdulmalik, Prince Ahmed bin Abdulaziz, Al Mughirah bin Shu&#8217;bah and Sheikh Mohammed bin Ibrahim bin Jubair. Riyadh Gallery Mall is inside the district, and the area is also home to Marina Mall, the embassies of Romania and Niger, and the Association for Disabled Children. The mix explains its character: villas and residential floors on the inner streets, with shops and offices on the roads around it. Two Blue Line Stations: Getting Around by Riyadh Metro When people search for the King Fahad District metro station, they often do not realise there are two of them. Both sit on Line 1 (Blue), which runs along Olaya Street, and they are consecutive stops inside the district. Most published guides to the area leave the metro out entirely. Station order on the Blue Line, north to south Riyadh Metro Line 1 stations around King Fahd District, north to south Order (north \u2192 south) Station Note 1 KAFD (King Abdullah Financial District) Interchange with Lines 4 and 6 2 Al Muruj Neighbouring district to the north 3 King Fahd District Inside the district 4 King Fahd District 2 Inside the district 5 STC Interchange with Line 2 (Red) 6 Al Wurud 2 Neighbouring district to the south King Fahad District Metro Station This is the northern of the two stops. KAFD is two stops away (Al Muruj, then KAFD), where you can change to Lines 4 and 6, which makes it a practical stop for people who work in the financial district. King Fahad District 2 Metro Station This is the southern stop. The very next station is STC, where the Blue Line meets the Red Line running along King Abdullah Road, so residents in the southern half of the district can reach east and west Riyadh with a single change. Schools, Healthcare and Green Space Within the District Everyday services inside the district Schools From Kindergarten to Secondary Schools here cover every stage for boys and girls, in both the government and private sectors: Group What the district offers Boys 11 government and private schools at primary, intermediate and secondary level, including a private Quran memorisation primary school Girls Government schools at all three stages, including Primary School 261, and Al Imaar private Quran schools Private education Al Enaya private schools at every stage Kindergarten A government kindergarten, Al Enaya&#8217;s kindergarten section and a private comprehensive kindergarten Tip: schools and their catchment can change from year to year. Confirm the school and its admission area through the Noor system or the local education office before choosing a home around it. Primary Healthcare and Private Clinics The district has a government primary healthcare centre, booked through the Sehhaty app, as well as a girls&#8217; health centre run by the Ministry of Education. On the private side there are clinics and medical centres such as Majed Al Mutlaq Clinics and Ajyal Medical Center, with pharmacies along the main streets. King Fahd District Park and Smaller Gardens Alongside King Fahd District Park, residents have Al Maram Park, Al Fajr Park and gardens beside the Zaid bin Haritha and Ali bin Abi Talib mosques. These are neighbourhood-scale parks, suited to daily walks and children&#8217;s play rather than large city parks. Housing in the District: Villas, Floors and Apartment Buildings Villas dominate the inner streets, alongside apartment buildings and independent floors, while commercial and office buildings line<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":31585,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"elementor_header_footer","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31603","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alrossais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alrossais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alrossais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alrossais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alrossais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31603"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/alrossais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31603\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31636,"href":"https:\/\/alrossais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31603\/revisions\/31636"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alrossais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alrossais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alrossais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31603"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alrossais.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
