Jordan's King and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince oversee railway foundation
King Abdullah II of Jordan and Sheikh Khalid bin Mohammed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, laid the foundation stone for the Aqaba-Shedyah-Ma'an railway project in Aqaba. The project is being developed by the Jordanian-Emirati Railways Company with an investment of approximately $2.5 billion and includes the development of a network spanning 403 kilometers. The aim of the project is to connect Aqaba with mining and production sites in Ma'an, improve the transportation of goods such as phosphates and potash, reduce transportation costs, create around 5,000 jobs, enhance the competitiveness of Jordanian exports, and facilitate the movement of mineral materials to regional and global markets. This initiative comes in line with the directives of the leaderships of both countries to strengthen their strategic partnership and support economic development in Jordan.
