The Old Eagles LLC: Strategic Infrastructure, Unified Region, Global Opportunity
By the year 2030 (إن شاء الله), the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) will finalize a transformative 2,117-kilometer railway network, physically linking all six member states: the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain.
This initiative represents more than transportation modernization. It establishes a new era of economic integration, high-speed mobility, and intra-regional supply chain connectivity, enabling sustainable growth and enhanced cooperation across the Gulf.
Participating Nations & Railway Authorities
-
United Arab Emirates – Etihad Rail
Etihad Rail serves as the central spine of the GCC system, connecting the Emirates internally and externally to Saudi Arabia. With operational freight corridors and advanced plans for passenger service, the UAE reinforces its commitment to sustainable logistics and economic diversification. -
Saudi Arabia – Saudi Railway Company (SAR)
Positioned at the center of the GCC, Saudi Arabia plays a pivotal role in coordinating regional flow. SAR’s infrastructure expansion directly supports Vision 2030, enabling broader industrial development, trade facilitation, and transport-sector innovation. -
Oman – Oman Rail
Oman’s contribution focuses on linking ports and free zones to inland transport corridors and cross-border networks. Freight diversion from road to rail will support reduced emissions and increased foreign investment in Oman’s logistics ecosystem. -
Qatar – Qatar Rail
Qatar Rail’s integration enhances connectivity between Doha and key regional markets. By complementing existing metro and light rail systems, the initiative improves commercial access, supports tourism, and strengthens event logistics infrastructure. -
Kuwait – Public Authority for Roads and Transportation (PART)
Kuwait’s participation opens strategic corridors to the upper Gulf and Iraq. The national rail segment will bolster trade, enhance port utility, and enable industrial distribution across broader Gulf routes. -
Bahrain – Ministry of Transportation and Telecommunications
Bahrain’s planned rail link, including a cross-border causeway to Saudi Arabia, will close the loop of the GCC network. This integration supports Bahrain’s broader public infrastructure modernization strategy and eases intra-GCC passenger and cargo movement.
Forecasted Regional Outcomes
-
$230 Billion Growth in Intra-GCC Trade
Streamlined cargo movement, customs harmonization, and enhanced corridor infrastructure are projected to unlock significant trade volumes. Both SMEs and multinationals will benefit from cost reductions and expanded regional access. -
Creation of 10,000+ High-Skilled Jobs
New employment opportunities are expected across AI systems integration, civil engineering, logistics optimization, environmental design, and infrastructure governance. National development plans will align training pipelines with the railway’s evolving needs. -
15% Reduction in Transportation Emissions
Electrified rail operations will replace large segments of road transport, resulting in measurable CO₂ reductions. Real-time environmental monitoring and carbon benchmarking will ensure alignment with the Paris Agreement and GCC climate objectives. -
High-Speed Intercity Passenger Service (up to 220 km/h)
Fast, safe, and energy-efficient rail mobility will shorten travel time between major Gulf capitals. The network is designed to facilitate population movement, business collaboration, and regional tourism.
