The historical context for rail development in the Middle East 
The development of railway networks in the Middle East is not a new phenomenon. The first line in the region opened in 1852 linking Cairo with Alexandria. The 1,300-km Hejaz railway between Damascus and Medina, made famous by Lawrence of Arabia, opened in 1908 
Alexandria’s Misr Station, completed in 1852

The years of neglect 
© 2014 MEED Projects 
But the sector was neglected in the second half of the 20th century, especially in the Gulf. Oil wealth meant that the local population took to the road encouraged by new road networks and cheap fuel. Rail development was put on the backburner. To this day, there are no operational rail networks of any kind (metro, overland rail, trams etc.) in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and until recently the UAE. At the same time existing networks in some of the pioneers of rail travel in the region suffered from underinvestment. The Iraqi, Egyptian, Maghreb networks all require substantial investment to modernise them. However, over the last ten years there has been a sea change in approaches toward rail investment.

High oil prices enable government to finance their project ambitions 
The ‘Dubai effect’ – success of Dubai metro has seen other Gulf states follow suit 
Demographic growth demands investment in transport infrastructure 
Political desire to improve access to more remote areas and stimulate economic development
