Cost Management
Extensive Route
The tram system covers 22.4 kilometers, linking five of Al‑Ula’s core cultural districts: Old Town, Dadan, Jabal Ikmah, Nabataean Horizon, and Hegra Historical City — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The network enhances accessibility for both residents and visitors while preserving the integrity of the historical landscape.
Urban Mobility
The Al‑Ula Tram is powered by 20 Citadis B battery-electric trams, operating on a fully catenary-free line — the longest of its kind globally. The use of SRS static charging and HealthHub™ predictive maintenance ensures a clean, quiet, and low-impact transport system that supports Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals for sustainable infrastructure.
Contextual Design
Operates 20 state-of-the-art Citadis B battery-powered trams, promoting sustainable transportation. Architecturally, the tram’s design draws inspiration from the historic Hijaz Railway, with organic station forms and context-sensitive finishes that harmonise with Al‑Ula’s desert terrain.
Expansive Infrastructure
Our responsibilities included preparing detailed Bills of Quantities (BOQ), pre-tender estimates, and budget planning, and project’s contract documentation. The development spans over 22,000 m² of built-up infrastructure, including 17 passenger stations, support buildings, MEP systems, bridges, roadways, and key infrastructure across the tramway corridor.
