Existing edit

No railways exist at present.


Proposed edit

Railways connecting with adjacent countries are proposed, and some internal lines. [1]

A railway line to Saudi Arabia at an estimated cost of $3.5bn. The project includes a 729km international line that connects the Yemeni-Saudi border to five cities in Yemen. [2]

The second axis includes a line to Oman, which extends across the Yemeni-Omani border at a length of 766km.

The third axis will consist of a 386km Balhaf-Aden line while the fourth axis will extend from Hazm al-Juf, Marib, Shabwa to Balhaf port on the Arabian Sea at a length of 578km.

The government is also planning to add a fifth axis extending from Sana'a to the Hodeida port on the Red Sea.

The Bridge of the Horns would provide a link over the Red Sea to Djibouti.

Closed edit

A short narrow gauge military railway existed at one time from Aden.


Standards edit

Future railways in Yemen are likely to employ standard gauge and other world standards such as 25kV AC.
