Saudi Railway to operate Al Mashaer Train

Riyadh – Mubasher: Saudi Arabia's council of ministers decided to assign the Saudi Railway Company (SAR) to operate and maintain Al Mashaer Train over the coming period during a meeting held on Tuesday, 21 May, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

Al Mashaer Train, opened in 2010, has shortened the distance and time required to move around the holy sites across the kingdom.  

The train passes through three different stations in Arafat Site, then to another three stations in Muzdalifah, and stops at three stations in Mina with the third at Al-Jamarat Bridge.

Previously, millions of pilgrims used to use buses and other means of transport for hours to move from one site to another.
