Saudi Arabia's Haramain High-Speed Railway Revolutionizes Hajj Travel
Saudi Arabia's Haramain High-Speed Railway (HHR) connects Makkah, Madinah, and Jeddah, providing easy access and reduced travel times for Hajj pilgrims.
The HHR has significantly reduced travel times between the holy cities, with trains reaching speeds of up to 300 kph.
The train offers spacious seating, onboard entertainment, and various amenities, making it a popular choice for pilgrims.
Additionally, the HHR has improved transport infrastructure for pilgrims, including a new train station and the Mashair Train within Makkah's holy sites, which helps transport pilgrims between Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalifah.
The HHR is a key part of the Saudi government's efforts to provide high-quality transport systems and services to pilgrims, as part of its commitment to hospitality and serving the needs of Muslims worldwide.
The HHR (Haramain High-Speed Rail) and Mashair Train, operated by Saudi Arabian Railways, have increased the number of HHR journeys for Hajj, providing over 3,400 trips and 1.5 million seats for travel between Makkah and Madinah.
There are 126 daily trips available for passengers, serving all stations on the route.
