The Middle East region is witnessing a strategic and structural transformation in the transport sector. A massive expansion occurred in the railway transport with its numerous types like, intercity trains, light rail and metros within cities. When compared to other modes of transport, railways are the most sustainable, efficient and cost effective.

The willingness to invest in railways projects in the region has considerably increased during the last 5 years when the Gulf countries assigned railway projects amongst its development plans. No matter how late such a fundamental decision was finally taken, it matters the most that it was initiated in order for it to proceed. Railway projects should be carried out unfailingly, regardless its infrastructure’s high cost. This great cost decreased the investment feasibility in this sector, which in return resulted in the private sector’s hesitation in involvement. Therefore, the governments assume responsibility of bearing the costs of establishing the projects’ infrastructure.

This approach to create and construct new railway projects at this time leaves governments in the region with no choice but to rely on foreign companies’ assistance in consultancies phase, and in implementation, operation and maintenance phase..Although there are companies and consultant offices working with those foreign companies and consultant and their experience is developing rabidly, the region still needs more local consultant to better suit to the local environment conditions and requirements, besides local companies its role related to construction, operations and spare parts’ supply along with all their relevant logistics.

Hence the idea of establishing a company to fulfill this part based on long term planto benefit from the current and upcoming opportunities in railways sector in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and region wide. As this phase based approach grants the emerging company the most needed experiences, sustainability, practicality and compatibility with the projects plans particularly in the Kingdom and the Gulf region in general.
