Saudi Arabia: King Salman takes high-speed train ride

King Salman Bin Abdelaziz inaugurated the much-delayed high-speed rail line between Mecca and Medina on 25 September. The 450km Haramain line also stops at King Abdullah Economic City, Jeddah’s King Abdelaziz International Airport and downtown Jeddah. It has an annual passenger capacity of 60m people and is the first high-speed service in the Gulf.
