EDDAH: The newly established Mashair Railway, which links the holy sites of
Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifa with Mecca, will have a 30-day test run before
opening to transport domestic and GCC pilgrims during the upcoming Haj
season.
Municipal and Rural Affairs Minister Prince Mansour bin Miteb will inspect
the railway (also known as the Mecca Metro) on Tuesday to make sure the
facility is ready to transport the guests of God. The railway will bring
about a dramatic change in pilgrim transportation between the holy sites.
Established at a cost of SR6.5 billion, the new railway will have a capacity
to transport 72,000 pilgrims in an hour. Nine stations have been
constructed in Arafat, Mina and Muzdalifa, each having three stations. This
is the second largest project implemented by the Ministry of Municipal and
Rural Affairs after the SR4.5 billion high-tech Jamrat Bridge project in
Mina.
Habib Zain Al-Abidine, deputy minister of municipal and rural affairs, said
the railway will have 10 trains in the first phase, each with a length of
300 meters. “Each train will carry 3,000 passengers.”
He said Saudi authorities have not yet fixed the fare. “The matter is in
the hands of Second Deputy Premier and Minister of Interior Prince Naif,
chairman of the Supreme Haj Committee. Once the prince gives his directives,
we’ll announce the fare,” he said.
The time for transporting pilgrims from Arafat to Muzdalifa will be reduced
to five minutes on the 9th of Dul Hijjah when the faithful will move
together from the plain of Arafat to Muzdalifa. And another five minutes
will take them from Muzdalifa to Mina on the 10th.
Zain Al-Abidine said the railway would operate throughout the year.
The second phase of the project will link Mashair Railway with the Grand
Mosque in Mecca with a station on Umm Al-Qura Road. It will also be linked
with the Haramain Railway that connects Mecca with Madinah and Jeddah.
The trains will have a test run covering 6,000 km each before starting
regular operations. The first test run took place last Thursday. The railway
will have 20 trains in the next stage, each with 12 carriages and each
carriage holding 250 passengers. About 20 percent of passengers will be
seated while 80 percent will be standing. Trains will have a speed of 80 to
120 km/hour. | b*****e
