How To Reach Al Faisaliah Tower

Reaching Al Faisaliah Tower in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

The Al Faisaliah Tower is one of Riyadh’s most iconic landmarks, located in the heart of the city. Here are the common ways to reach it:

By Air

If you're traveling internationally or from another region of Saudi Arabia, the King Khalid International Airport (RUH) is your main point of entry. From there, you can choose from the following options:

  • Taxi: Taxis are readily available outside the airport terminals. The journey to Al Faisaliah Tower is approximately 35-45 minutes, depending on traffic.
  • Car Hire: Renting a car from one of the many car rental agencies at the airport is a convenient option if you prefer to drive yourself. Make sure you have a valid driver's license and meet the rental requirements.
  • App-based Ride Services: You may also use ride-hailing apps like Uber or Careem, which operate widely in Riyadh and offer transportation from the airport to the tower.

By Road

If you're within Riyadh or coming from a nearby city, driving is a viable option:

  • Al Faisaliah Tower is situated on King Fahd Road in the Al Olaya district, which is well-connected and easy to navigate. The tower’s distinctive shape makes it an easy landmark to spot.
  • Secure parking is available in the tower's underground car park.

Public Transport

While Riyadh's public transport system is expanding, it may not be the most convenient way to reach the tower:

  • The Riyadh Metro is currently under development, and upon completion, it is expected to serve the Al Olaya district where the tower is located.

Note: Always keep an eye on the latest local travel advisories and regulations, especially if you’re visiting from another country.
