The project has also already announced expansion plans. After the launch of the sixth line early next year, the seventh line of the Riyadh Metro is already garnering considerable interest, particularly because it plans to include routes to Qiddiya and Diriyah. According to Construction Week, the new plans span approximately 65 kilometres and feature 19 stations, 14 of which will be underground and five above ground.
