Visiting Madinah

Madinah is the northern terminus of the Haramain High Speed Railway in Saudi Arabia and one of the country's key intercity rail points. The city is served by Madinah HHR Station, the main passenger train station for long-distance rail services on the western high-speed corridor. Haramain High Speed Railway services connect Madinah with the major rail stops between the holy cities and the Red Sea coast. Trains from Madinah are high-speed intercity services with reserved seating, designed for travel across the Haramain corridor rather than local commuter trips. Madinah HHR Station handles departures and arrivals on the line toward King Abdullah Economic City, Jeddah, Jeddah Airport, and Makkah. Train tickets for these services are best checked by date because capacity changes during pilgrimage and holiday periods. Rail routes from Madinah run south toward Jeddah and Makkah, with intermediate rail access to King Abdullah Economic City and the airport station at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah. There is no direct airport rail link from Madinah Airport to the city station, so travelers use road transfer to Madinah HHR Station before boarding the train.
