A Historic Move After 125 Years!
The Hejaz Railway, first launched by Sultan Abdul Hamid II in 1900 to connect Istanbul to Mecca and Medina, is being revived after 125 years!
Türkiye, Jordan, and Syria have signed a protocol for reconstruction. A separate protocol with Saudi Arabia will follow soon.
The new line will stretch from Istanbul → Damascus → Amman → Medina, aiming to provide safe, affordable travel for pilgrims and boost international trade.
Originally completed in 1908, the railway was disrupted during World War I, but now it will return as a modern link of faith, history, and commerce.
