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 exist, and some of the sections are still functioning. 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.
