The Haramain High-Speed Railway will play a pivotal role in serving worshippers this Ramadan, with more than 3,662 trips set to accommodate over 1.7 million passengers, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
Saudi Arabia Railways (SAR) has recently announced the completion of its operational preparations to expand travel capacity between Makkah and Madinah during the holy month.
The company also confirmed that this season’s operational plan features more than 100 daily trips on the Haramain High-Speed Railway.

To further enhance passenger capacity on the Haramain line, Saudi Arabia Railways has announced the purchase of 20 new high-speed trains from Spanish manufacturer Talgo. They will be delivered between 2028 and 2031.
