Category: Travel

In a historic collaboration between Saudi Arabia Railways (SAR) and the prestigious Italian Arsenale Group, the opulent Dream of the Desert luxury train service is set to grace the landscapes of Saudi Arabia in 2025.

Featuring 40 lavish cabins capable of accommodating up to 80 discerning passengers, this exquisite train is scheduled to arrive in Saudi Arabia during the summer of 2025, with its inaugural journey commencing in November of the same year.

The formal agreement between Dr. Bashar Al-Malik, SAR's CEO, and Paolo Barletta, CEO of the Arsenale Group, was solidified at a recent signing ceremony, attended by Eng. Saleh Al-Jasser, Minister of Transport and Logistics, and SAR's Board of Directors Chairman.

This collaboration stems from a memorandum of understanding signed on March 15, 2023, aiming to introduce the first-ever "rail cruising" experience across Saudi Arabia. The 770-mile route from Riyadh, through Hail, to Al-Qurayat in the north, near the Jordanian border, promises a unique and luxurious travel adventure.

Speaking at the event, Minister Al-Jasser expressed excitement about the introduction of luxury train services, marking a groundbreaking development in the Middle East and North Africa region. He emphasized how this initiative aligns with the National Strategy for Transport and Logistics Services, contributing to enhanced quality of life and supporting key national strategies.

Highlighting the tremendous support from visionary leaders, Minister Al-Jasser applauded the collaboration's role in enhancing transportation routes and elevating the overall passenger experience.

CEO of SAR, Dr. Al-Malik, reaffirmed SAR's commitment to spearheading quality initiatives in line with the National Strategy for Transport and Logistics Services. He underlined the Dream of the Desert luxury train as a significant addition to SAR's service portfolio, providing travelers with an unparalleled mode of transportation and entertainment.

Paolo Barletta, CEO of Arsenale Group, shared insights into the ongoing preparations for the Dream of the Desert train, drawing parallels with the iconic Orient Express in terms of comfort and luxury. With an investment exceeding 200 million riyals, Arsenale Group specializes in high-end travel, international hotel and resort management, and luxury hospitality. The company envisions long-term plans for similar luxury services, boasting a fleet of six tourist trains in Italy.

As anticipation builds, the Dream of the Desert luxury train promises not only a remarkable journey but also an opportunity for locals and tourists alike to explore the beauty of Saudi Arabia in unparalleled style and comfort.
