Deep-laying station. Its depth is 30 m. It consists of three halls — the central one and two side ones, which form a common island platform with a width of 19.8 m and a length of 104 m. Descent-ascent to the station is carried out on 4 escalator belts with a lifting height of 29.0 m, a length of 58.0 m.

The walls of the station are lined with marble mosaics, the pattern of which forms a national ornament. At the end of the platform there is a stained glass panel that contains the idea of an ancient city and a blooming garden. The composition consists of three parts: the right part is a blooming garden with the outlines of the ancient city of Almaly. The left part is the ripening of fruits with the silhouette of a caravan. The central part is an apple tree with fruits as a symbol of fertility, the tree of life and prosperity. The arches of the aisles and baseboards are decorated with brown marble. The floors are lined with granite slabs.[3]
