The Hejaz Railway Station

A visit to the historic Hejaz Railway station and its museum, and the story of the train that linked Damascus with Madinah.

Madinah

We meet at the historic Hejaz Railway station in Al-Anbariya, one of Madinah's finest stone buildings. Your guide tells the story of the line, opened in the early twentieth century, that cut the pilgrims' journey from the Levant to Madinah from weeks to days. We then walk through the museum among the locomotives, carriages and objects, and finish with a photo walk around the building and the neighbouring Al-Anbariya Mosque. Suitable for history lovers, photographers and families.
