The project is to develop a light rail system along the Zarqa–Amman corridor using the existing Hejaz railway alignment with extensions to Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA), a branch line to Madaba, and integration with new urban developments such as New City (Amra), thereby treating the project as an integrated LRT network rather than a standalone corridor.

The scope of work is to determine potential ridership, modal shift, fare policy, and operational sustainability, evaluate the project as an integrated LRT network, rather than a standalone corridor, including future urban developments such as New City (Amra), identify opportunities for non-fare revenue generation, including transit-oriented development (TOD) and commercial activities, and provide recommendations on potential Public-Private Partnership (PPP) structures.

Türkiye, Syria, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia are actively pursuing the revival of the historic early 20^th century Hejaz Railway as a modern, cross-border trade corridor. Signed through recent agreements and memoranda of understanding, the project aims to link Europe and Türkiye through Aleppo, Damascus, and Amman down to the Gulf region. This initiative aims to restore the historic Hejaz Railway, establishing a strategic north-south transportation corridor connecting Istanbul, Adana, Aleppo, Damascus, Amman, Medina, Mecca, and Jeddah, offering an alternative to maritime transit through the Strait of Hormuz, Bab el-Mandeb, and Suez Canal. Longer-term plans envision extending the network to Oman, creating a land corridor between Europe and the Gulf of Oman.

Technical Information

The Project assesses the engineering and technical requirements for upgrading the existing railway corridor and developing proposed extensions, including alignment constraints, constructability considerations, and system compatibility for passenger transport. It covers the Hijaz railway corridor from Qatraneh to Syrianian boarders (Jaber) with total length of 186 km.

The KAUHP Faculty Housing Project is a residential development in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, conceptualized to develop a leading sustainable campus and establish itself as an ICON for campus in the Middle East to follow. The development is to adopt high standards of sustainability, creating a high quality of living and establish itself as a prestigious development.

The residential complex covers a total area of 750,000 square meters including the development of 800 independent villas and 48 apartment buildings designed to accommodate teaching staff and faculty members. The housing community is built close to core campus facilities and incorporates fitness centres/gyms, relaxation zones, and continuous maintenance services. The master plan for the faculty housing project was designed to meet high sustainability and green building standards covering energy, water conservation, and indoor environmental quality.

Technical Information

Project is Located at the heart of KAEC, Al-Talah Gardens District spreads over 500,000 square meters. In addition, the housing project enjoys world-class infrastructure and leading-edge amenities, which include a high-capacity storm drainage network, sewage systems, water and power networks, telecommunications and Internet connections, paved roads, street lighting and landscaping as well as safety and security systems.

Once completed, a one-kilo meter pedestrian walkway will allow families to enjoy walking, playing and relaxing in the outdoors surrounded by trees, playground facilities and retail stores

The Aqaba Port Railway project which is a landmark project that involves the construction and operation of the mega freight railway. The project is the largest of its kind in the Kingdom’s history, with a total joint investment estimated at $2.3 billion. The railway will serve as the foundation for a future national rail network, connecting Jordan with neighboring countries, including potential links to Syrian ports and the Mediterranean. The project will help reduce transport costs and improve supply chains, enhancing the competitiveness of Jordanian products with the ability to transport up to 16 million tons of phosphate and potash annually. The 360-kilometer railway will connect Aqaba’s port to a broader transportation network, meeting international standards and significantly enhancing the city’s logistics infrastructure. The railway network will connect phosphate and potash mines to the industrial port through the main tracks serving production sites in Sheidiya and Gor As Safi.

The Hejaz Railway Station (122,000 square meters) in Ma’an is one of the main stations on the historic Hejaz Railway line, which runs from Damascus to Medina in Saudi Arabia. After the restoration of approximately 27,000 square meters and 11 heritage buildings, it was known as the “Founder King’s Palace” and underwent a comprehensive restoration to become a fully-fledged national museum highlighting an important historical period of Jordan.

Technical Information

The Project includes (Funded by TIKA of Türkiye):

• Rehabilitation of existing old buildings with 500 m² and landscaping of around 6000 m²
• Building a new three-stories 3000 m² museum for Hijaz Railway history

The museum will have traditional and technology-based objects

The Riyadh Rail Link (RRL) is a 35 km double track rail corridor designed to connect the North-South Railway (NSR) with the Riyadh Dammam Line (RDL), forming a key segment of the wider Saudi Landbridge network. The alignment bypasses central Riyadh and provides a strategic freight and passenger connection across the Kingdom.

The RRL will therefore be a mixed freight and passenger non-electrified railway line, with axle load capacity for Copper E 80 (EM 360) freight trains and a design speed of 160 kph for freight and 250 kph for the passenger.

The alignment of the RRL has been broadly divided into five key zones with specific characteristics and stakeholder requirements.
