The 1,768-kilometer railway will link six Arab states

The six Gulf states agreed to create a single rail system with a length of 1,768 kilometers. The construction of the regional highway is planned to be completed by November 2030. This was reported by the National Information Center of Bahrain following the meeting of transport ministers in Manama.

The agreement was signed by representatives of six Arab countries. The document provides for the formation of a common transport infrastructure for passenger and freight transportation.

The project involves connecting the national railway networks of the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council into a single system.

The creation of the highway should improve transport links between countries, simplify trade operations and increase the efficiency of regional logistics. Combining rail infrastructure is also expected to optimize freight supply chains.

The agreement sets out the requirements for the future transport system: it must be modern, safe and sustainable.
