The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Railways (SAR) has announced the readiness of the Haramain High Speed Railway to receive pilgrims for the Haj 1445 AH-2024, which is expected to start on June 14.

This comes in light of the addition of more than 430 new trips to last year’s trips, reaching 3,800 trips, during the scheduled period from Dhu



al-Qa’dah 1, corresponding to May 9, until Dhul Hijjah 19, corresponding to June 25, bringing the number of trips on peak days to 126, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

The Haramain High Speed Railway, launched in 2018, connects three cities with a 453 kilometer double railway line for pilgrimage, Umrah performances, and visitor transportation.
