Welcome to the website of the Makkah Madinah Rail Link. This site contains a description of the proposed passenger rail network linking the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah to the Western port city of Jeddah and addresses a variety of potential questions that interested parties may have about the project.

A large number of Umrah visitors and Hajj pilgrims travel between Makkah and Madinah every year, a number that is expected to grow as a result of the new rules greatly facilitating Hajj/Umrah visits. The Makkah Madinah Rail Link ("MMRL") will involve:

The project will involve:

1)	Construction of a new line between Jeddah and Makkah

2)	Construction of a new line between Jeddah and Madinah
