As a spanish that worked on the construction phase II of this wonderful and huge project for a year, between Medina and Jeddah, I'm so happy and proud to see this working at full pace and I would like to visit it some day. It was a big challenge against the desert and time. Our team worked on the section between KAEC and Workbase 3 near Medina and also we conduct the first dynamic tests of the first Talgo EMU that arrived to Saudi Arabia. Thanks for your video, I loved it.

When my wife and I performed the haj in 2008 our group of Malaysian pilgrims travelled by rickety buses with open windows. Slow and at times uncomfortable, they were much more memorable than a high speed train. At one point on the trip from Jeddah to Medina, we stopped at a roadside rest area, and it was an unforgettable moment: the full moon was setting behind us, and in front, the sun was rising red through the desert air. These buses were great for getting a feel for the desert air and the expanses of distance. You felt more that you were IN the scenery rather than slicing through it.

Beautiful mountain views from the train, and that's a stunning mosque in Medina! Besides serving Mecca and Medina for Hajj, there's also umrah which is a pilgrimage that can be completed at any time of the year! Besides the HSR, Mecca has a very interesting Metro line specifically for Hajj called the Al Mashaaer Al Mugaddassah Metro line! It's 12-cars long because it operates just 7 days a year for Hajj! Each train carries 3K passengers with 150-second headways between the Hajj sites of Mina, Muzdalifah and Mount Arafat! During the week of Hajj, it carries 72,000 passengers an hour, making it the busiest metro line in the world during the week of Hajj! As every able-bodied Muslim who can afford to is required to make a Hajj pilgrimage, millions show up every year, leading to extreme congestion between the sites, so for a safer Hajj, the Saudis opted to build a shuttle metro line with Chinese support, replacing 53,000 buses! Mina is known as the world's largest tent city, because it can house 100K air-conditioned tents with a capacity of more than three million pilgrims! Mina is also the home of the Jamaraat Bridge, which is where the hajj ritual of stoning pillars (devils) takes place. Mount Arafat is according to Islamic tradition, the place where prophet Muhammad stood and delivered the Farewell Sermon to his companions who had accompanied him for the Hajj towards the end of his life. Without the Metro, it would be 21 km to walk from Mina to Mount Arafat! For year-round residents and umrah, Mecca is also building a whole metro system! The Clock Towers complex by the Great Mosque in Mecca is also impressive! Its central tower, the Makkah Clock Royal Tower, is one of the tallest free-standing structures in the world, and each clock face measures 43 m in diameter and are illuminated by 2 million LED lights! The capital Riyadh is also getting a metro system, with six lines being built simultaneously in 2024 with over 80 stations! The system will use Alstom and Siemens rolling stock and had its groundbreaking in 2014!

The Prophet's Mosque in Medina is called such because Muhammad himself was involved in the construction of the mosque, and the mosque has served as his resting place after it was expanded during the reign of the Umayyad caliph al-Walid I. At the time, the mosque's land belonged to two young orphans, Sahl and Suhayl, and when they learned that Muhammad wished to acquire their land to erect a mosque, they went to Muhammad and offered the land to him as a gift. Muhammad insisted on paying a price for the land because they were orphaned children. The price agreed upon was paid by Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, who thus became the endower or donor of the mosque, on behalf or in favor of Muhammad. Al-Ansari also accommodated Muhammad upon his arrival at Medina in 622. 622 was the first year of Hijrah, which was the journey that Muhammad and his followers took from Mecca to Medina. Muhammad died in 632. A title that the monarch of Saudi Arabia has is the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, referencing the Prophet's Mosque in Medina and Masjid al-Haram or the Great Mosque of Mecca. Jeddah facts: Jeddah has the King Fahd's Fountain, the tallest fountain of its type in the world, named after King Fahd bin Abdulaziz, the ruler of Saudi Arabia from 1982 until 2005. The fountain jets water to a maximum height of 260 meters (853 ft). King Fahd's Fountain is listed in Guinness World Records as the highest water fountain in the world! The water ejected can reach a speed of 375 km/h (233 mph) and its airborne mass can exceed 16 tonnes (18 short tons). The fountain uses saltwater taken from the Red Sea instead of freshwater. Over 500 LED spotlights illuminate the fountain at night. Jeddah is home to one of the tallest flagpoles in the world at 171 meters (561 ft) high, it was the tallest flagpole in the world from 2014 until 2021! Between the 1980s and 2010, the DPRK had the world's tallest flagpole in Kijong-dong at 160 m (525 ft) tall. The South Korean government built a 100 m (328 ft) tall flagpole on the DMZ at Daeseong-dong, and so the DPRK responded accordingly.
