The document summarizes key rail projects and trends in the Middle East and North Africa region. It provides data on the length of existing and planned rail networks in various countries. Major upcoming projects include high-speed rail lines in Saudi Arabia worth over $14 billion and expansion of metro systems in cities like Riyadh, Jeddah, and Mecca. While progress has been made, fully connecting the GCC railway network faces challenges in standardization, regulations, and financing.

Etihad Rail – phase 2 15 © 2014 MEED Projects Timeline Bids for the design build of the five main packages were submitted in December 2012 After more than 2 years of evaluation and bid bond extensions, the process was cancelled Bids were re-invited in four main packages this summer, but this time without a specific package for the line to Al-Ain. An addendum for this segment was later provided to the prequalifiers during the bid preparation process Bids submitted in September 2015, with no group understood to have submitted an option for the addendum option Remains unclear whether the project has the necessary financing approvals 2 groups of contractors bid for the four main packages. 3 other groups also bid for one package each.

- 19. Conclusions 18 © 2014 MEED Projects To date still slow progress on GCC railway network Ministerial meeting to be held next week but still no overarching dedicated body set up to regulate and oversee it Official 2018 start date therefore seems increasingly unlikely Oman is most advanced followed by Qatar and UAE Apparent lack of connection between Oman and UAE is worrying Technical and operational manual believed to have been completed But question marks still exist over interoperability, driver training, customs, visas and freedom of movement Some evidence of tension over freight traffic being able to bypass specific ports What impact of air lobby? Project made more challenging by falling oil revenues
