King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD)
مركز الملك عبدالله المالي
A cluster of skyscrapers in Riyadh's new financial district, where Zaha Hadid's Metro station and sky bridges feel strikingly futuristic.
مركز الملك عبدالله المالي is a new financial district in northern Riyadh, where dozens of glass-clad skyscrapers in varied shapes are linked by elevated walkways, forming a pedestrian-friendly urban block. The Metro station, designed by Zaha Hadid, rises like undulating dunes and is a must-see for architecture fans. The district has a dining strip called “KAFD Avenue,” along with hotels and shopping, and it glows brilliantly at night. Entry is free, and several Riyadh Metro lines run directly there.
