Southern railway boosts development
The railway project between Aqaba, Shidiya, and Ma'an is considered one of the major developmental initiatives aimed at reshaping the transportation and logistics systems in southern Jordan. The project links the Aqaba ports with mining and production areas in Shidiya and Ma'an, targeting improvements in the efficiency of transporting mineral products such as phosphates and potash. This will enhance the competitiveness of Jordanian exports. The investment is approximately $2.5 billion, and it is expected to facilitate the transport of around 16 million tons annually, create about 5,000 jobs, and cover a distance of 403 kilometers for phosphate and potash routes. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2027 and last for five years. The project aims to support economic development, reduce dependence on road transport, achieve integration with port and infrastructure projects, and has the potential for future expansion to connect the region with neighboring countries—further strengthening Aqaba's position as a regional logistics hub.
