The first line in the GCC was the 1300km narrow gauge Hejaz Railway, that ran from Damascus to Medina, through the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia, opened 1908, closed 1920, made famous by Lawrence of Arabia. Rail was neglected in the second half of the 20th century generally in the gulf, but over the last ten years there has been an increased change in approaches towards rail investment
