Saudi Arabia is investing heavily to expand its transportation infrastructure over the next decade, with $141 billion planned for rail, metro, and bus projects. This creates many business opportunities for investors, including in rail construction, operation and maintenance, ports, airports, buses, and logistics services. Key rail projects include expanding existing lines, developing high-speed rail between major cities like Mecca and Medina, and constructing new economic cities that will require integrated transport systems.
Makkah and Medina are considered sacred places in Islam. The word Makkah comes from Bakkah, meaning to destroy or eliminate show-off attitudes. Muslims make great efforts to visit these cities despite them being surrounded by dry hills. Acts of worship like prayer, fasting, charity and Quran recitation done in Makkah and Medina are rewarded much greater than if done elsewhere. A pilgrimage with a sincere heart and avoiding excessive spending is hoped for, as the only reward for a pilgrimage well-performed is entrance to heaven.
The document discusses the integrated public transportation system plans for Jeddah, Saudi Arabia led by Metro Jeddah Company. It summarizes that Jeddah is a rapidly growing city that lacks an effective public transportation system currently. Metro Jeddah Company was formed through a royal decree to implement a comprehensive public transportation master plan over 7 years, including metros, commuter rail, trams, and ferries with a total budget of 45 billion Saudi Riyals. The plans aim to promote sustainability, modal shift, and an integrated multi-modal network to serve the city's projected population of 6 million people.
The most holy site in Islam is located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Mecca is considered the center of the world in Islam and houses the Kaaba, which Muslims face during prayer. The area around the Kaaba is sacred and seen as a place of peace and safety for both people and animals. Mecca attracts millions of Muslim pilgrims each year who undertake rituals associated with the Hajj pilgrimage, including wearing ihram clothing and reciting prayers.
Saudi Arabia’s Sustainable Construction Limitations: The Experts’ Views Ibrahim Al-Hudhaif
