World's most luxurious train station planned by Saudi Arabia's King Abdulla

[Zarvan]

WITH gold-plated walls and marbled walkways, this isn't your average train station.
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah is planning to build an extravagant new six-line train network, in a move that's sure to make travellers around the world extremely envious.
Its breathtaking, sweeping design was created by architect Zaha Hadid to mimic the country's wind-blown sand dunes.
It's also designed to let in light while keeping out the harsh desert sun, in one of the hottest places in the world.
The King has ordered the impressive station be built in the capital of Riyadh within just four years - the same time it took workers to renovate one station in New York.
It's a far cry from the grimy, depressing underground networks of many other countries.

Four years translate to six or seven in Saudi Arabian years. If we learned anything from projects their time frames are always too ambitious and they end up taking longer than expected. Okay now it is Jeddah's turn. Riyadh is getting Metro, Makkah is getting Metro, Madinah is getting Metro. Jeddah needs Metro the most. And then maybe Taif?? ... We are the fifth largest city so why not put us on the list

Makkah , Jeddah and Madina are going to connecting using high speed rail . The work is in progress and the project will finish in 2020 I guess.

It reduce the time from Jeddah to Makkah from 1hour few mintues to 30 mins and same is case with Medina.
