Haramain Train Station in Makkah.
The company implementing the Haramain train station in Rasifah has completed 90 percent of the construction and finishing work.
Saeed Al-Qurashi, the head of the transport committee at the Makkah Chamber of Commerce and Industry and member of board of directors, told a local publication that the Haramain train project is expected to be operational in 2017, and will be able to transport 9,000 passengers per hour, which will ease the movement of pilgrims coming from King Abdulaziz International Airport.
“The station is a small city containing all the basic facilities and services for worshipers, and was designed according to aesthetic and engineering specifications, very unique in the world,” he added, explaining that the transport prices have yet to be defined.
The track of the train is 450 km and will shorten the travel time between Madinah and Makkah to two hours.
He also said the station is like a mini city with all necessary services for visitors and pilgrims.
“The station has arrival and departure halls, commercial stores, a prayer room, parking space, car rental offices, public sector services and their offices and restaurants,” he said.The station has been aesthetically designed in a way which makes it one of a kind worldwide,” said Al-Qurashi.
He added the ticket charges have not been decided yet.
“The railway that will connect Makkah and Madinah is one of the Kingdom’s most carefully supervised projects. It is one of the top priorities for the government. The project is going on schedule without any delays or hindrance. It will facilitate the transportation between the two holy cities greatly,” said Al-Hamdan. He said he made a tour of the train and traveled between King Abdullah Economic City and Madinah during a test ride.
“The train goes at a speed of 200 km per hour. I was with a group of officials and supervisors of the project and I had checked the station in Rabigh. It is complete and ready for operation. The national manpower is doing a great job as Saudi workers are trained in countries such as Spain,” said Al-Hamdan.
He also said the train will connect Makkah and Madinah and will have stops in Jeddah, King Abdullah Economic City and Rabigh.
“The 450-km long railway is built using the latest technology and most advanced materials. The train has the latest engines and the cars were built using most advanced technology in consultation with international companies ,” said Al-Hamdan.
There is also a VIP lounge for first class passengers, he added.
“The station will have around 70 escalators, each 23 meters long. The escalators will be the longest in the Middle East. The station will also be fully equipped with all required services. The Civil Defense will have an office at the station and there will be a parking lot with a capacity for 6,000 vehicles,” said Al-Suwaikit. Haramain Train Station in Makkah

“The municipality is also working on constructing a promenade for pedestrians. The total area of the station is 461,000 sq. meters. The station is also fully equipped with surveillance cameras and plasma screens,” said Al-Suwaikit.
“We have also allocated a budget for the design and aesthetic appeal of the station. The station will have chandeliers reflecting the theme of the station and matching the design of the trains, offices and stores,” said Al-Suwaikit.
He also said the station was designed to be as eco-friendly as possible using eco-friendly material. The station will have a glass ceiling to allow the sunlight to illuminate it during the day.
