Jordan's King and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince at railway opening
The King of Jordan, King Abdullah II, and the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed, laid the foundation stone for the Aqaba-Ma'an-Shiwayyah railway project in Jordan. This project is being developed by a joint Emirati-Jordanian company with an investment estimated at around $2.5 billion. The aim of the project is to develop a 403 km railway network connecting the Port of Aqaba to mining and production sites in Ma'an, to enhance freight transportation, reduce reliance on roads, and increase logistical efficiency. It is expected to create approximately 5,000 jobs, reduce transportation costs by about $40 million annually, and support export, mining, and economic development sectors in southern Jordan.
