KUWAIT CITY: A major railway link project connecting Saudi Arabia and Kuwait has entered a crucial phase as it moves into the tendering stage, with the design of the Gulf railway nearing completion. This development marks a significant step forward in enhancing regional connectivity and transportation.

The Director General of the Construction and Major Projects Department at the Ministry of Public Works, Engineer Zuha Al-Zuha, announced the advancement, emphasizing the project’s potential to facilitate trade and travel between the two nations. The railway is expected to bolster economic ties and promote tourism in the Gulf region.
