Turkey plans to revive Hijaz railway
Turkey's project to revive and modernize the Hejaz Railway aims to transform it into a modern corridor connecting Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the Gulf countries, potentially passing through Oman. The goal of the project is to enhance transportation and freight movement by creating a land route that shortens travel time and reduces reliance on maritime shipping, especially following disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. The connection between Turkey and Saudi Arabia is expected to be completed within three to four years, with the possibility of extending to Europe to boost regional trade. This project is viewed as a response to the need for alternative land routes amid current challenges in maritime transportation.
