Visiting KAEC
KAEC, short for King Abdullah Economic City, sits on Saudi Arabia's Red Sea corridor between Jeddah and Madinah. Its passenger rail role is focused on one main train station: King Abdullah Economic City station on the Haramain High Speed Railway. The station links KAEC with the western Saudi high-speed network operated for intercity passenger travel.
Trains from KAEC are high-speed intercity services on the Haramain route. King Abdullah Economic City station is used by Haramain High Speed Railway services running north and south along the corridor, including airport-area rail access through Jeddah Airport station. There are no separate mainline terminals within KAEC, so most rail passengers use this single station for train tickets and departures.
Rail routes from KAEC run south toward Jeddah, King Abdulaziz International Airport, and Makkah, and north toward Madinah. These routes connect KAEC with Saudi Arabia's main western rail cities and the principal pilgrimage rail corridor. Book trains from and to KAEC online at Rail Monsters.
