The Gulf Railway Authority confirmed that the much-anticipated Gulf Railway Project is set to finish by December 2030. Once complete, the mega project will stretch across 2,117 kilometers, linking all six GCC countries in one seamless rail network.

Fast Trains, Smooth Connections

Expect passenger trains zipping at over 200 km/h, while freight trains will cruise between 80–120 km/h. The system will tie into ports and logistics hubs, giving trade and travel across the region a major upgrade.

More Than Just Trains

Officials say the railway isn’t just about easier commutes—it’s a boost for the regional economy. Faster goods transport, smoother travel for residents, and better integration of each country’s transport projects are all part of the big picture.

A Game-Changer for the Gulf

By 2030, hopping from one GCC country to another could be as easy as catching a train. For travelers and businesses alike, the Gulf Railway promises to reshape how the region connects.
