Saudi Arabia and Oman open new land route
Spark Saudi Arabia and Omani Arkan Company have signed an agreement to establish a land logistic corridor connecting Saudi Arabia and Oman across the Empty Quarter Desert, aimed at enhancing transit movement, improving supply chains, and facilitating the transfer of goods between the two countries. The corridor spans approximately 725 kilometers in total, with 564 kilometers within Saudi Arabia and 161 kilometers within Oman. It relies on the "Empty Quarter" road, which was inaugurated in 2021 and serves as an independent land route separate from the Emirates. Saudi Arabia has carried out the construction of the internal section of the road, which is 564 kilometers long, at a cost approaching 1.908 billion Saudi riyals, contracting with companies to complete it amidst a harsh desert environment, with safety and service measures in place. This project aims to bolster economic and tourism benefits for both nations.
