Editor's Note:
A 450-kilometer railway connecting Mecca and Madina will begin operating commercially on October 1. The railway was built by companies from China, Saudi Arabia and other countries. Trains will travel at the speed of more than 300 km/h along the railway, which is considered to be the fastest in the Middle East.
