Why the $250 Billion Gulf Railway Ended in Failure
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 02. 2022
- The Gulf Railway project was proposed back in 2009, when 6 Middle East Countries from the Gulf Cooperation Council agreed to the $250 Billion Dollar plan. The plan featured a 1,300 mile long railroad that would connect all six countries. The project was broken down into many different phases, but 10 years after the project began its no where near completed.
Throughout the video, I break down why the railroad is still abandoned, and what will happen to the project in the future. While some may believe that this project was a mistake from the beginning, only time will tell what happens to this massive project in the future.

Shame on you to make such fake and misleading contents to make money...why don't you go and find some nice work and work like a man instead of doing fraud
Why do you describe this as an engineering misstep rather than a victim of economic shifts? I didn’t see anything that suggested that the engineering was at fault in any case.
But it’s running in uae now

Yes, oman to uae construction going on, kuwait to saudi construction approved
Exactly!
I fly professionally at low level all over UAE. I see the rail continuously being developed. I also drive and see bridges being built and track laid. It is certainly moving along at a reasonable rate compared to any other project I’ve seen being completed anywhere in the world. Even if it only goes from the Saudi border to the East coast & Oman it’ll save UAE millions in transport costs just within the country.
How long do you think it will take to finish?
Etihad Rail is probably the most realistic project of all the GCC countries since they’re almost 60% - 65% done with the railway.
Etihad has been slow but consistent with their progress. Also , Etihad are planing to start transporting passengers by 2030 which is a goal that’s very likely to be achieved at this rate.
I agree , It is in fact a project from the past but somehow the UAE found a way to salvage it.
Let’s hope it succeeds since all of the other rail projects failed 😅
Oil prices are back up, quite a bit, and I suspect they'll stay up for awhile. That'll help this project, in KofSA, at least.

Well, I can't speak for Other GCC nations but, UAE is on its way to completion however it may take some time but surely it's part of their long term plan. As people have seen the benefits of the Dubai metro. so no doubt the Etihad railway will be a success making transportation more convenient for the people.
Nothing failed in Saudi Arabia with more than 2000 kilometer of rail being in use. But things take longer that is clear.
@@hartmutehuber local railway around 5000 km in saudi
Etihad Rail will be completed, I’d say KSA is the other country most likely to get the rail done. But for other countries in the GCC budget deficits and on the part of Qatar lack of communication due to soured relations I don’t see the rail in other parts of the gcc
The relations are ok right now
@@Omer1996E.C officially they’re neutral, and those 4 years of no diplomatic relations meant Qatar’s rail had no chance of progressing with its neighbours and even thought diplomatic relations are back between their GCC counterparts tension is still sour as it was way before the end of diplomatic relations in 2017
IF SAUDI AND EMARITES DECIDE TO COUPLE IT SMALL DISTANCE ONLY IT IS (120 KM) FROM AL AHSA UNTIL SAUDI EMARITES BORDER
Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait the distance to link is not much these countries are small so distance is not much.
So for oman they are planning in phases.first phase is to link with uae that is Muscat sohar and then uae , which is less than 300km. And then other phases to follow that is duqm and salalah.

I want to thank both the presenter and the commenters of this video.
Railroads, like many big projects, often take longer to build than expected.
The number of facets is massive. The financial problems of building railroads
go back almost 300 years.
most of passengers train does not pay back good not like transportation
Only Miles? When 90% of the world use the metric system.
In the next video I will add the metric system

Etihad railway is still under construction and part of it is already working they will extended in phases and will eventually connect all the Emirates together, after that it will start transporting passengers.
Having a railway connecting the GCC will be great is strengthening trading and economical ties between the countries involved

😅😊
albeit Qatar is too small for inter-city rail, in a domestic sense they have laid plenty to connect the city itself with metro and trams, with the possibility of the GCC rail still open for the future, the country still has retained some areas for future construction and linking their 2 main ports in the north and south.
Edit Update: today as im writing this Qatar just announced a rail network connecting to Saudi Arabia, surprised by this tbh but its a great opportunity!

imagin Qatar has linked it is self with GCC railway and sell natural gas to medeterian countries by trains etc + all kind of food and goods products comes to GCC countries ass well
Consulting the PRC on bolstering railway against sand may help?.. Would definitely make the existing HSR to Urumqi more useful
How is it failure when the money was not spent?
Etihad Rail is nearing completion between Abu Dhabi and Dubai and the Rail to Ruwais ( less than 100 km from the Saudi Border ) was completed in phase 1
Yes, work was delayed because of lack of funding for some countries but do you know how much is the Oil prices now?
The Chinese built a railway through the desert of Xinjiang for nearly as many miles/ km. It’s do-able. The failure of the Gulf rail project had much to do with politic than technology.
Very good that all me gustan todos los vídeos muchas gracias che
Hey buddy, i want to eagerly know that how you research your videos and how you write your scipts. Every video you make is totally awesome please tell me how you research and write scripts please please please reply
It was a brilliant well thoughtout project had it been inacted. If one accepts a railways main investment purpose is to bring a countries dynamics together by connecting people and economies.
Current regional problems with Israel, Yemen, Iraq and Iran will be solved with a GCC network generating confidence in each others economies and a tolerance of difference. As such it would be wise to constructed the network underground, as though its more expensive, the ability to mitigate the coming global temperature increases the region is facing, and thus prove far more efficient in dealing with the trials of desert railways is far more cost effective.
One thing is certain global warming is not bothered about religions, politics or history. In a 2018 UNDP report crop production in the GCC was forecast to drop by upto 30% by 2025 with a 1.5˚C-2˚C increase. Meaning farming activity and businesses will be wiped out and the consequent enormous impacts on economic instability and disruptions in the regional food supply chain.
The economic strategies of such projects needs to encompass the whole lifecycle costs inclusive of the climate degredation for such a rail network to manifest it self - money will talk.
These rail lines are not a failure! They are just delayed and some parts on-hold. While on some areas clearing and construction is on going.

I am sorry but most of the things you said weren't true ( at this moment ) because it's already being built and plans have came back and facing challanges isn't a failure bro
Due to geopolitical concerns and the current attacks from Yemen’s direction this project is all the more critical. Since most of the GCC’s goods pass via the Straight of Hormuz, it is a choke point that they can no longer rely on to be open for traffic.
The problem is not in the goods that can be supplied from the Red Sea via Saudi Arabia
The problem is in the export of oil, and this is something that will harm the global economy
Because the industries are completely dependent on oil
And Iran thinks when it faces problems with America and the world targets oil ships
@@user-kj8yl6sn2z I now had to go have a look because I thought there is already a pipeline to bypass the Straight of Hormuz. I know that there is a gas pipeline already for this reason.

Interesting
That cost seems ridiculously high. 192 million dollars per mile? Are they using gold rails?
that is estmation not reality _and estmation is high
It is the bridges and tunnels and the foundation you need to do when building in sand. The rail also has high standard technology that needs to work under very hard condition. There are no signals on the railway and the trains need to be resistant against sand storms and extreme heat. The project includes some very long bridges.

As if these competing nations were going to play ball with each other
I believe you can be a large infrastructure CZcamsr. Your editing and scripts are great, however the research and titles are either misleading or completely wrong most of the times.
maybe if they built each rail connection to each city or country one at the time, they might have gotten more accomplished. maybe just feeling accomplished :0
The economic feasibility is what determines the importance of implementing the project or not, especially that it is financially costly.
Even large companies will not invest in an expensive project without a very careful study of the feasibility of the project

Gulf countries are still committed to it, Saudi Arabia has already started working on its portion of the project
There are project ideas in the Arabian Gulf that have not been implemented or have been disrupted, such as the King Salman project that links Egypt with Saudi Arabia or the Farasan Islands bridge that connects it with Jizan
Or the project to connect Riyadh to Jeddah with an express train
Or the project of the Jeddah Tower, the tallest skyscraper in the world

Super. 💙 T.E.N.
Why do you think that this is an engineering misstep? I didn’t see any technical roadblocks.
I thought this was a CNBC video from the thumbnail
It’s happening in UAE and the project completion is going to be 2030 because the UAE has got a class leadership.
I don't agree that this is a failure. Sometimes things take a bit longer, but it does not mean it is wasted and will never be useful or operational. The railway network in Europe and other parts of the world have taken more than 100 years. If it takes ten years longer, so what?
Google is free! Try using it before making videos. Also … Bye Raan??? How on earth did you get that pronunciation from the letters Bahrain ?? Lol
Main mistake was to believe that they could do it with Europe. America's Transcontinental railroad was in danger of stalling and collapse until they brought in Chinese workers, many of whom risked and lost their lives completing it.

Is not a failure , the project is on hold because of economy, it will come .some of the countries they have started.I don’t think they will fail these countries have good economy.
iam rn in uae
they are building it
The gcc does not have financial management or project management or is dependent on westerners. They should have given the project to somalia or bangladesh or russia or turkey or israel or kenya. The work would have been completed within 5 years from the start, had a corpus fund been made for the duration of the project
Did nobody look to the Left at the Rolling Sand Dunes and think Nahh I'm out of here
No, because that can be managed! There are already thousands of kilometers of rail operating in that area and it is proofen to work!

Just like the Hejaz railway, died in the desert
Decades of massive oil revenue and these countries have nothing to show for it,not even a decent railway!
I agree with you for Saudi Arabia the large population and large country with more cities. But other gulf countries the population was not much , oman now is 4.5 million and uae is 9 million. And others less than that Previous year’s, the population was much less than that and import/export also was not much.So doing a large railway project will cost a lot for nothing.
But now it’s a time they have to do as soon as possible.because these countries are blooming in business and population is keep in increasing,now we have traffic problems in some areas.
China can help. I'm sure that been discussed among them. They all sign on belt and road recently.
Help ? This is a backward term. They will be paid it's not helping it's business
M8 just like u said it might not come out from the blue print, so how can u call it a failure if they didn't lose money, that was a click bait
All the footage in the video are from Etihad Rail showing progress and trains working in the operating phase, but then say the project is something of the past...? I mean, come on. Is it now fashionable to beat down on gulf countries and their projects? Coz that's all i see being posted consistently from all these crappy CZcams "experts".
If the completion dateis less than one year away on a project of this stature that means the project is almost done and so it being a failure (like your elizebthian line) is a premature statment. the fact is the project will be done in the next few years if it is one year away from completion and will be a success but what they should have done is had China in the deal and attached those east Africa railway lines china just built to this network so raw materials and food could be transported into the peninsula - this would make it a far better network and then the link to iran would also be good.
@cliff woodbury The Elizabeth line in London is operational. It took longer and cost more than originally proposed, but it is now operational. Also the Elizabeth Line is in UK, this creator is clearly not from the UK, he is either American or Canadian, so you saying "so it being a failure (like your elizebthian line)" is at best misdirected piffle.
China already built 40 times of more modern, more complex rail in that time span.
It was a 80 billion dollar train line not 250 billion dollars
Even that is too high.
There is a lot of false information and nonsense in that report! The rail lines were never assumed to be done within short time but in several steps! And the status is not so bad : the north south line in Saudi Arabia is up and running, UAE step one is up and running. Both lines serve mines and (will) earn money by that allone. UAE is working on step 2 and on passenger traffic, and steps 3 and 4 will then connect to the other countries.
The future of the rail lines are not connected to the oil price (but financing might be) as the mines cannot be connected by trucks in a reasonable way. Also, as the existing line from Dammam to Riyad shows, rail can take many trucks from the roads and is in fact cheaper than road traffic.
But rail also serves a political goal: to become independent from the location at the gulf and to connect directly to the Indian sea. That alone is enough justification for the project to progress. But things take time in that region!
This railway project would only be successfully implemented if China is engaged to do the construction work.
"$250 Billion Gulf Railway Ended in Failure "
First where did you get this number ?
second how it ended when its still developing UAE built and still building their parts saudi arabia just finished buillding 200 km of the tracks and finshed the dammam-jubail juncation that link the north train with the east and will later extand to kuwait bahrain is building a new bridge for their part of the train

@@omareljachi1411 its literally been running for a while now for freight, and passenger access soon.
I'm sorry. But this is embarrassing. If a few hundred miles of rail each, sinks everyone!?!. No rail should touch it again.
I kept waiting for the part where you explain how and why it failed but you just keep repeating "project of the past, funding low/slow, might not be completed" over and over again. So either the $250 billion is wrong, or your claim that it has already failed is wrong, or both. This has to be the laziest and least researched story I've watched in years. Try harder.
The primary reason for the project failing was lack of funding. Everything else was ideal for the project to be completed. I did spend a lot of time researching for this video, but the only information I found was that each individual government wants the project to succeed, but doesn't have the capital to make it a reality. I do spent a lot of time on researching topics for my videos, and this topic did not have a lot of available information on the specific reasoning as to why it was never completed.

Something is amiss in your numbers! What you are showing is not high speed rail. It is regular, standard, run of the mill double track. This may cost 5 million dollars per km. For 2,000 km this is 10 billion dollars. How do you get to spend 250 billion dollars?
But the biggest problem is that there is hardly any cargo at all to be transported other than oil and gas, that travel by pipeline. I would be very surprised if this railroad were to carry 50 million tons per year. Cargo is mostly imported, and in container. Most major inland cities already have a logistics system to the nearest port. For example, cargo to Mecca or Medina will come in through the port of Jeddah, and not via Muscat, Dubai or Qatar. And each seaside city has its own port, so there isn't much to send by railroad either. Now, assuming this project had cost only 10, not 250 billion dollars, and that it would be repaid in 25 years, that means 400 million dollars per year (excluding financing costs). That divided by 50 million tons per year gives 8 dols/ton, and just to pay for infrastructure. No way such a project can pay for itself, even in 100 years!
YOUR PRICES NOT ACCURATE
@@user-vu7jg2ze9c my prices are more than accurate. Actually, generous. A substantial part of the cost of laying track is the purchase of land, which in this case is desert, worth zero. Note I am not saying that the cost is half the quoted number. Or a third. It is 1/25th!
@@user-vu7jg2ze9c just to give you a brief comparison. 250 bln dols for 2,000 comes to 125 million dols per km of double track. The new Elisabeth Underground in London comes to 20 bln usd for 120 km. That id 166 mln dols/km, only that one is in the open air and with stations separated hundreds of kms and the other requires boring a tunnel (90% of the cost) plus stations every 700 metres or so. High speed track in China is costing today some 20 mln dols/km. In Europe up to 50, to pay for very expensive land. No railway track on this planet costs 125 mln dols/km. Take a look. Hamdela Allah el salama! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossrail
The prices not even close +each indivisual country of GCC responisble about it is track within it is teritory after finishing the last plan to couple among each of them+ this 250 pilion $$$ not relastic _the cost of cargo track from 4-5 milion$$+ there is differant between railway cargo capacity and real handling
