The Green Line, on the other hand, (King Abdulaziz Road) is 13.3 kilometers long, and runs from King Abdullah Road along the Ministry of Education all the way to the National Museum. Its 12 stations serve a number of government entities, including the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Commerce, as well as several commercial, service, and residential facilities. All stations on the line will be open to the public tomorrow except the Ministry of Finance and the National Museum stations which will be operational at a later date. The Green Line intersects with the Red Line at the Ministry of Education Station, and with the Blue Line at the National Museum Station.

According to the roll-out plan that was previously announced, the Orange Line (which covers Al-Madinah Al Munawarah) will open on 5 January 2025, marking the full operation of the Riyadh Metro Network.
