Why the $250 Billion Gulf Railway Ended in Failure

The Gulf Railway project was proposed back in 2009, when 6 Middle East Countries from the Gulf Cooperation Council agreed to the $250 Billion Dollar plan. The plan featured a 1,300 mile long railroad that would connect all six countries. The project was broken down into many different phases, but 10 years after the project began its no where near completed.
Throughout the video, I break down why the railroad is still abandoned, and what will happen to the project in the future. While some may believe that this project was a mistake from the beginning, only time will tell what happens to this massive project in the future.

    I fly professionally at low level all over UAE. I see the rail continuously being developed. I also drive and see bridges being built and track laid. It is certainly moving along at a reasonable rate compared to any other project I’ve seen being completed anywhere in the world. Even if it only goes from the Saudi border to the East coast & Oman it’ll save UAE millions in transport costs just within the country.

    Etihad Rail is probably the most realistic project of all the GCC countries since they’re almost 60% - 65% done with the railway. Etihad has been slow but consistent with their progress. Also , Etihad are planing to start transporting passengers by 2030 which is a goal that’s very likely to be achieved at this rate. I agree , It is in fact a project from the past but somehow the UAE found a way to salvage it. Let’s hope it succeeds since all of the other rail projects failed 😅

As people have seen the benefits of the Dubai metro. so no doubt the Etihad railway will be a success making transportation more convenient for the people.

    It was a brilliant well thoughtout project had it been inacted. If one accepts a railways main investment purpose is to bring a countries dynamics together by connecting people and economies. Current regional problems with Israel, Yemen, Iraq and Iran will be solved with a GCC network generating confidence in each others economies and a tolerance of difference. As such it would be wise to constructed the network underground, as though its more expensive, the ability to mitigate the coming global temperature increases the region is facing, and thus prove far more efficient in dealing with the trials of desert railways is far more cost effective. One thing is certain global warming is not bothered about religions, politics or history. In a 2018 UNDP report crop production in the GCC was forecast to drop by upto 30% by 2025 with a 1.5˚C-2˚C increase. Meaning farming activity and businesses will be wiped out and the consequent enormous impacts on economic instability and disruptions in the regional food supply chain. The economic strategies of such projects needs to encompass the whole lifecycle costs inclusive of the climate degredation for such a rail network to manifest it self - money will talk.

    It is the bridges and tunnels and the foundation you need to do when building in sand. The rail also has high standard technology that needs to work under very hard condition. There are no signals on the railway and the trains need to be resistant against sand storms and extreme heat. The project includes some very long bridges.

    If the completion dateis less than one year away on a project of this stature that means the project is almost done and so it being a failure (like your elizebthian line) is a premature statment. the fact is the project will be done in the next few years if it is one year away from completion and will be a success but what they should have done is had China in the deal and attached those east Africa railway lines china just built to this network so raw materials and food could be transported into the peninsula - this would make it a far better network and then the link to iran would also be good.

    @cliff woodbury The Elizabeth line in London is operational. It took longer and cost more than originally proposed, but it is now operational. Also the Elizabeth Line is in UK, this creator is clearly not from the UK, he is either American or Canadian, so you saying "so it being a failure (like your elizebthian line)" is at best misdirected piffle.

    I agree with you for Saudi Arabia the large population and large country with more cities. But other gulf countries the population was not much , oman now is 4.5 million and uae is 9 million. And others less than that Previous year’s, the population was much less than that and import/export also was not much.So doing a large railway project will cost a lot for nothing. But now it’s a time they have to do as soon as possible.because these countries are blooming in business and population is keep in increasing,now we have traffic problems in some areas.

    I kept waiting for the part where you explain how and why it failed but you just keep repeating "project of the past, funding low/slow, might not be completed" over and over again. So either the $250 billion is wrong, or your claim that it has already failed is wrong, or both. This has to be the laziest and least researched story I've watched in years. Try harder.

    The primary reason for the project failing was lack of funding. Everything else was ideal for the project to be completed. I did spend a lot of time researching for this video, but the only information I found was that each individual government wants the project to succeed, but doesn't have the capital to make it a reality. I do spent a lot of time on researching topics for my videos, and this topic did not have a lot of available information on the specific reasoning as to why it was never completed.

    Something is amiss in your numbers! What you are showing is not high speed rail. It is regular, standard, run of the mill double track. This may cost 5 million dollars per km. For 2,000 km this is 10 billion dollars. How do you get to spend 250 billion dollars? But the biggest problem is that there is hardly any cargo at all to be transported other than oil and gas, that travel by pipeline. I would be very surprised if this railroad were to carry 50 million tons per year. Cargo is mostly imported, and in container. Most major inland cities already have a logistics system to the nearest port. For example, cargo to Mecca or Medina will come in through the port of Jeddah, and not via Muscat, Dubai or Qatar. And each seaside city has its own port, so there isn't much to send by railroad either. Now, assuming this project had cost only 10, not 250 billion dollars, and that it would be repaid in 25 years, that means 400 million dollars per year (excluding financing costs). That divided by 50 million tons per year gives 8 dols/ton, and just to pay for infrastructure. No way such a project can pay for itself, even in 100 years!

    @@user-vu7jg2ze9c just to give you a brief comparison. 250 bln dols for 2,000 comes to 125 million dols per km of double track. The new Elisabeth Underground in London comes to 20 bln usd for 120 km. That id 166 mln dols/km, only that one is in the open air and with stations separated hundreds of kms and the other requires boring a tunnel (90% of the cost) plus stations every 700 metres or so. High speed track in China is costing today some 20 mln dols/km. In Europe up to 50, to pay for very expensive land. No railway track on this planet costs 125 mln dols/km. Take a look.

    There is a lot of false information and nonsense in that report! The rail lines were never assumed to be done within short time but in several steps! And the status is not so bad : the north south line in Saudi Arabia is up and running, UAE step one is up and running. Both lines serve mines and (will) earn money by that allone. UAE is working on step 2 and on passenger traffic, and steps 3 and 4 will then connect to the other countries. The future of the rail lines are not connected to the oil price (but financing might be) as the mines cannot be connected by trucks in a reasonable way. Also, as the existing line from Dammam to Riyad shows, rail can take many trucks from the roads and is in fact cheaper than road traffic. But rail also serves a political goal: to become independent from the location at the gulf and to connect directly to the Indian sea. That alone is enough justification for the project to progress. But things take time in that region!
