The $7.87bn Haramain High-Speed Railway was launched by Saudi Arabia in 2018. The railway line is designed to carry 60 million passengers annually.

The 450km Haramain Railway, developed by the Al Shoula consortium of 12 Spanish and two Saudi companies, is intended to reduce reliance on oil and diversify Saudi Arabia’s economy.

In December 2019, the Haramain Railway high-speed line resumed service from Madina to Jeddah’s New King Abdul Aziz Airport after a fire at Sulaymaniyah station halted operations.
