Hejaz Railway

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:48:17

Except for the occasional cargo train, only the breeze rolls through this historic old station at present. For years speculation has been that a functioning passenger service to Aqaba would return to the tracks of the Hejaz Railway, made famous in the West by the pursuits of TE Lawrence. There's a small on-site museum and you can sit in the elaborately decked Royal Carriage. The station is 2.5km east of the Roman Theatre, on the edge of the downtown area.
