It is located in the Sinaiyah Qadeem district, and is the western terminus of the Dammam–Riyadh Line.

The station was designed by Italian architect Lucio Barbera in 1978 and was opened for public service in 1981.

The station's design was inspired by the architecture of some mosques along the Mediterranean Sea.

The building comprises the main lobby from which extends two wings.

The style and decoration of the building use elements such as triangular openings to construct windows, arcades and parapets with rectangular steps, elements bearing a resemblance to Nejd architecture but also common in other Arab architecture.
