Is this part of the proposed larger `trans-GCC` railway?
ReplyDeleteI believe so. UAE will finish the first part of its Etihad Rail by the end of this year (links the emirates with each other)(not to mention Dubai Metro that has been running for 2 years), while neibouring countries are still scratching their head as to where to start. But I guess thats it, the final decision has been taken and they should be completing some new GCC lines within a couple of years. Btw....what is Kuwait doing with all this? Its Saudi, Bahrain, UAE and Qatar that have announced their involvement, is Kuwait not part of this?
