- This time, we are talking about another mega railway project - carried out on the territory of Saudi Arabia.
It is related to the construction of a high-speed railway that connects two Islamic holy places - Mecca and Medina, and it is better known as the Haramain high-speed railway.
What is interesting about this project are the extremely difficult climatic and geographical conditions in which the line was built - deserts, open valleys, desert winds, and high temperatures, all dictated a need for different technical solutions on the same railway line.
As usual, we covered the background of the project which was basicaly handling the transportation needs of a growing number of seasonal pilgrims to Mecca, Hajj and Umrah performers, then the scope and execution of works, including among other, details about six very diverse design areas, high standards of safety and incident management system, amazing passenger stations of Mecca, Jeddah Central, Jeddah KAIA, Rabigh-KAEC and Medina and suppliers from across the world such as ADIF, Renfe, Talgo, Siemens, Al Shoula Group, DB), and last but not least, the inauguration and operation of the line.
If you want to know all about the Haramain high-speed rail project, check out our video!
Enjoy!

Better than building another megatall skyscraper
Very strange that Chinese work on this project isn't mentioned. It is wonderful that many different companies & countries came together to get this massive project completed, but please include them ALL
BUILT BY CHINA PRC for Islam Holiest Cities . the same for Russia a fantastic Metro for Moscow also its beautiful underground stations in the RUSSIAN style !
this documentary does not speak about the hardest part of the project ie the construction of railway in the deserts which was done by chinese
Where's the elephant in the room? China built this high-speed railroad, so why isn't China even mentioned?🤣
Chinese made .... Why hide this info?
it is the land of revelation of quran
This project become reality just becouse of Chinese train technology.... Great job China.
Just having a big laugh about this video .. The hardest part about this project is building the rail track in the desert , yet this video didnt mention China 🤣
Speaking of Talgo, it would be nice to find out more about the Afrosiyob medium-to-high-speed train of Uzbekistan, another project that chose Spanish high-speed trains and expertise. Information on it is scarce.
They have so much money, I can't believe they're only building this now. The stations look beautiful!
Once again you have fully informed me about something that I didn’t even know existed before watching. Thanks Railways Explained!
My new favourite channel. Because HSR are one of biggest infrastructure solutions that solves so many problems and you are one of those with great objective analysis videos
Astounding plan of works in just 5 yrs. Akin to China but with even more challenges. Plenty of other middle eastern countries will look at this with interest (cairo to Alexanderia/red sea) (dubai to bahrain/kuwait) (Iran)
Very well put together video ... Thank you so much
Just one detail. The signaling system is ERTMS, but it is also installed the Spanish ASFA system as a backup to improve the operation in case of ERTMS failure. With ASFA max speed is 200 km/h
Talgo trains 🚆 are damn good.
This absolutely FANTASTIC video shows that while America continues to make excuses and lets racism influence its policies, other countries are moving ahead to modern transportation solutions that benefits its citizens.
You guys absolutely smashed it in a positive way, like always... ;)
