There are few train journeys that linger in the imagination quite like the Hejaz Railway. Over a hundred years ago, it carried pilgrims, soldiers, and traders across deserts, cutting through empires and connecting Damascus to Medina. Now, after lying derelict for decades, this legendary line is preparing to roar back to life. Türkiye, Syria, and Jordan have pledged to revive the Ottoman-era railway, setting the stage for a project that blends history, politics, and the promise of regional renewal.
