The projects of construction of the metro started in 1974, after the independence of [[Salamat]]. Construction began in March 1977, were halted from May 16 1977 to May 31 1977 due to political instability issues, then finished on April 14 1982, the official date of Dar Al Hamma's metro opening. The metro spanned from Our Lady of Thrismari Station at the western end and Martyrs Station at the eastern end. The metro line 1 was extended to East Promenade Station on May 5 1989, and the extension also included the El Djanane Station. Another extension, a much bigger one, was inaugurated on October 22 2004, featuring Dharma Station, Falaa Square Station and Stadium-Berkani Station. The 1st line wasn't extended since.
The projects of construction of the metro started in 1972, after the independence of [[Salamat]]. Construction began in March 1975, were halted from May 16 1977 to May 31 1977 due to political instability issues, then finished on April 14 1982, the official date of Dar Al Hamma's metro opening. The metro spanned from Al Jazira Station at the western end and Frik Station at the eastern end. The metro line 1 was extended to the Observatory in June 1985 and took its actual form.
 
The line 2 construction began in 1983 under the personal supervision of [[Jalil Al Kharrabi]] The construction ended in 1990 and the line opened on June 24 1990, inaugurated by Al Kharrabi. Originally, the line ran from the Great Mosque station to the Airport Terminal 1 Station but another extension to the Dar Djamail Stadium opened on March 12 2006.
 
The 3rd metro line was opened on June 11 1999 after 7 years of slowed construction due to [[Salamati Civil War|Islamist insurgency in Salamat]]. The original line spanned from Dar Djamail Stadium Station at the western end to the Islamic University of El Fathi at the eastern end. The line 2 was further extended to the Observatory on August 30 2019 for the 50th anniversary of Salamat's independence which took place on September 3. A new station, Two rivers, was opened on April 4 2021 due to the high demand in the area.


The 2nd metro line was opened on June 11 1999 after 7 years of construction and interrupted work due to [[Salamati Civil War|Islamist insurgency in Salamat]]. The original line spanned from El Khidj-Seafront Station at the western end to Synagogue Station at the eastern end. The line 2 was further extended to Muntasir Great Mall on August 30 2019 for the 50th anniversary of Salamat's independence which took place on September 3. It included Khamis Station, People's Square Station, Muntasir Station and Muntasir Great Mall station.
== Ghost stations ==
Dar Al Hamma metro has one ghost station, located on the line 1. It is between the Dar Al Hamma railstation and the Martyrs station. The ghost station, named "Martyrs Park", was on the original path of the line 1. However, in early July 1994, the platforms sinked slightly into the ground, making the station dangerous for public usage. The stop was closed on September 4 1994. The station is visible when travelling on the metro, and is sometimes used by firefighters for training.
