A massive regional rail project connecting Saudi with five nearby nations is set to change holiday plans in the future. The GCC Railway Project, first launched in 2009, will link the six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) with a 2,117km railway.It will eventually mean that people in Saudi can travel by train to Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).A visa making it easier to travel between the GCC countries is set to be launched in the near future, and the GCC railway will, eventually, be a great way to see more of the region.The Gulf Railway Authority has announced that the project can be expected to be completed by December 2030.
The proposed route will begin in Kuwait before passing through Dammam in Saudi.From Dammam, you’ll be able to travel directly to Qatar, via the Salwa port, and Bahrain. From Saudi, you’ll also be able to travel to Abu Dhabi and Al Ain in the UAE. And, once you’re in the UAE, you’d then be able to connect to Dubai with Etihad Rail. The railway will then travel from the UAE down to the Omani capital of Muscat via Sohar.
