Riyadh → King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD): key facts

Private transfer, Riyadh Airport (RUH) to King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD): the car (1–3 passengers) is €55 and the van (4–8) is €80, a set price for the vehicle that does not change at checkout. Expect 31 km on the road; about 30 min off-peak, 30–40 min in rush hour.

Pickup: The driver waits in the public arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminals 1, 3 or 4 for international flights, Terminal 5 for domestic flights), just after baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. The car stands in the airport's designated pick-up area, about two minutes on foot from the arrival gates. The booking includes flight monitoring and an hour of free waiting from touchdown; your bags are loaded for you.

The King Abdullah Financial District lies in the north of Riyadh, about 36 km from the airport, and is the closest of the main business areas to King Khalid International Airport. The route runs south on King Khalid International Airport Road, follows the Northern Ring Road west and leaves it at the KAFD interchange, where a dedicated loop road circles the district. The ring road can be slow at weekday rush hours, when many office workers drive into the district.

KAFD is a compact cluster of office and residential towers connected by elevated walkways, with hotels, a conference centre and the KAFD metro station, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects. Most buildings have their own drop-off points reached from the internal loop road, while the central walkways and plazas are pedestrian. The district borders Al Aqiq, where Riyadh Park mall stands, and Olaya with the Kingdom Centre is about 7 km to the south.

Public transport instead: Riyadh Metro Yellow Line (Line 4) from airport metro station (Terminal 3 or Terminal 5) to KAFD, daily service; KAFD is the city end of the Yellow Line and an interchange with the Blue and Purple Lines.
