The first phase, valued at $160 million, includes a 4-star hotel with 325 rooms, 80 stores, 44 restaurants, and entertainment areas. A modern bus station, accommodating 780 passengers per hour, integrates seamlessly with the Haramain High-Speed Railway connecting Mecca and Madinah.
Collaboration Driving Vision 2030
The project results from collaboration among Saudi Railways, Knowledge Economic City, the Madinah Development Authority, and the Madinah Mayoralty. This initiative prioritizes sustainable urban planning, infrastructure enhancement, and transforming Madinah into a world-class tourist hub.

Phase One focuses on mixed-use spaces and connectivity to essential transport systems, fostering sustainable and innovative urban solutions. The project enhances hospitality, housing, and cultural spaces, strengthening Madinah’s role as a prime destination for tourism and investment. Madinah’s Emir, Sheikh Salman bin Sultan, inaugurated the project, emphasizing its transformative impact on the city’s urban landscape.
Future Phases to Boost Expansion
Future phases will expand hospitality, entertainment, and commercial spaces, further solidifying Madinah’s cultural and economic significance.
