Al Batha Orange Line Metro StationBTO

Al Batha Orange Line Metro Station gives the Orange Line its own access point to the Al Batha traditional commercial district - a complement to the Blue Line's Al Bat'ha station which serves the same area from a different direction. The district is Riyadh's historic wholesale and traditional market hub, and having two metro lines with access points here reflects its importance as one of the city's most-visited commercial destinations.
