JEDDAH In order to facilitate the movement of God’s guests between Makkah and Madinah and to provide a more comfortable and seamless travel experience, the Saudi Railways Company (SAR) has announced its operational preparations for the Haramain High Speed train during Ramadan 2025 by significantly increasing the number of trips and seats.
With the availability of roughly 1.6 million seats, or 18% more seats than the previous year, SAR, in collaboration with Saudi-Spanish Railway Project Company, the operator of the Haramain High Speed Rail, reported that the number of trips during the season increased to 3,410, which is more than 21% compared to 2024. This increases the Haramain High Speed Rail’s ability to meet the high demand during the holy month.
During the first week of Ramadan, daily operations will begin with 100 trips each day. By the fourteenth day of the month, it will progressively climb to 120 daily travels, and on days when operations are at their highest, it will reach 130 daily trips.
One of the ten fastest trains in the world, the Haramain High Speed train connects Makkah, Jeddah, King Abdulaziz Airport, King Abdullah Economic City, and Madinah at a speed of 300 km/h on a 453 km railway line. It offers pilgrims, Umrah performers, and tourists a contemporary and quick way to get around.
