Saudi Arabia and Qatar just announced a $115 billion high-speed rail mega project—one of the biggest infrastructure deals in the region’s history. The 785 km electric railway will connect Riyadh to Doha in under two hours, with trains exceeding 300 km/h, serving 10 million passengers annually and creating 30,000 jobs.
This project marks a major milestone after the 2017–2021 Gulf crisis and symbolizes the success of the Al-Ula reconciliation. The route links King Salman International Airport to Hamad International Airport, passing through Dammam and Hofuf. Completion is planned within six years, aligning with Gulf sustainability and economic diversification plans under Vision 2030.
Will this historic project reshape travel, unite the Gulf states, and redefine the Middle East's future? Full analysis inside.
