Saudi Arabia: Facts & Stats

TRANSPORTATION

Roads:

Highways:

total: 152,044 km
paved: 45,461 km
unpaved: 106,583 km (2000)

Highways in Saudi Arabia vary from eight laned roads to small two laned roads in rural areas. The city highways and other major highways are well maintained such as the roads in Riyadh. The roads are constructed so they resist the summer's high heat and do not reflect the strong sun. The outer city highways such as the one linking from coast to coast are not as great as the inner-city highways but the government is now working on rebuilding those roads.

Some of the important inter-city highways include:

• Dammam - Abu Hadriya - Ras Tanura Highway (257 km)
• Khaybar - Al Ola Highway (175 km)
• Makkah - Madinah Al Munawarah Highway (421 km)
• Riyadh - Dammam Highway (383 km)
• Riyadh - Sedir - al Qasim Highway (317 km)
• Riyadh - Taif Highway (750 km)
• Taif - Abha-Gizan Highway (750 km)

Railroads:

Saudi Arabia has several hundred route kilometres of standard gauge railways linking the capital Riyadh with the Arabian Gulf. In October 2006, tenders were called by the Saudi Railways Organization (SRO) to build the new 440 km Makkah-Madinah Rail Link (MMRL).

In 2008, a Maglev Monorail was proposed to link the holy cities of Makkah with Mina, Arafat and Muzdalifah.
