Jeddah, Saudi Arabia CNN —In the distant past, Muslim pilgrims came to the holy city of Mecca on foot.
Haramain means “two sanctuaries” in Arabic, named for the holy cities of Mecca and Medina that sit on the line’s opposite ends.
Business class passengers on the train can watch seat-back TVs.
Even on a short journey like the one from Jeddah to KAEC, business class passengers are entitled to a full meal service.
When it comes to high-speed railway, it seems as though the Haramain line is only the beginning in Saudi Arabia.
