$1 trillion investment for the GCC railway: the Gulf becomes more connected than ever!

After years of planning, the 6 brotherly GCC nations have now a common framework and plan to operate the first intra-GCC train by 2030 (إِنْ شَاءَ ٱللَّٰهُ)

Imagine a single railway connecting:

🇦🇪 UAE - Etihad Rail
🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia - Saudi Railway Company
🇴🇲 Oman - Oman Rail
🇶🇦 Qatar - Qatar Railways Company (Qatar Rail)
🇰🇼 Kuwait - PART
🇧🇭 Bahrain - Bahrain Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications

A 2,117 km rail network that will do more than just transport passengers and cargo - it will redefine logistics, trade, tourism, and regional integration.

Here are some insights:

• $230 billion in intra-GCC trade impact
• 10,000+ jobs created in engineering, AI, infrastructure
• Reduced by 15% GHG emissions across the GCC
• Passenger trains at 220 km/h
• Stops in Abu Dhabi, Doha, Riyadh, and Muscat short time

But this isn't just about trains.

This is about connecting ideas, economies, and futures.

It's a corridor for:

• AI-driven logistics hubs
• Smart stations and borderless digital customs
• Hyperconnected tourism circuits
• Supply chain resilience across Gulf ports, dry docks, and free zones

Just like Europe's TGV or China's HSR transformed their regions, the GCC Railways Authority will be the backbone of the next economic leap.

One Gulf. One track. Endless opportunity.
