How the Haramain Train will operate:

Eight services are expected to operate at the Haramain Train on a day-to-day basis until the end of 2018. But prep yourselves for the beginning of 2019, when services are likely to increase to 12 services daily.

Inspections of the trains have already been prepared by the Minister of Transport Nabeel Al-Amoudi at the start of the month.

Some few residents got to experience the train ride for free just three months ago.
