The Hejaz Railway (also spelled Hedjaz) was
originally built to transport pilgrims from the city of Damascus
in Syria to the city of Madina in Saudi Arabia. It was completed
in 1908, but was severely damaged during the First World War
(1914-1918) by Lawrence of Arabia and the Arab Revolt. Parts
of the Hejaz Railway survived and some of the sections are still
functioning today. We are indebted to the many Nabataea.net readers
who have contributed to this site especially Ghiath who has provided
us with many photographs. His photographs all have a small steam
engine in one corner and GH-R on the other. All photographs are
copyrighted, and the property of their perspective owners. Please
do not copy them without the permission of their owners.
Menu Guide: Pages
have been created for the various stations, blockhouses and stops
along the Hejaz Railway. Menu Items in BOLD have information
on them. The others are still under development. If you have
any pictures, stories or other information that may be of interest
to our readers, please contact
us. The menus on this page are always up to date. Menus
on subsequent pages may need updating, so if you are puzzled
over the menus please return to this page.
