19. Project Map Muscat Abu Dhabi Doha Dubai Manama Dammam Kuwait

20. Transfer Rate States Transfer rate for the period (2004-2006) by means of current transportation Expected by train only in 2016 Kuwait 16.3 7.5 Bahrain 5.1 6.7 Qatar 6.6 4.3 Oman 1.8 2.8 United Arab Emirates (UAE) 3.7 7.1 Saudi Arabia 3.9 1.6 Other Arab states 2.6 1 Total 40 31.1

21. Comparison between the forecast transported between passengers before and after the railway Train Car Bus Airplane Total Before the operation of Gulf Railway network 28.820 1.106 13.034 42.960 In the beginning of the operation of Gulf rail way network 3.308 27.425 989 11.670 43.392

22. Railway Characteristics Passenger and Freight Single Line Track (Double tracks in certain areas) Diesel Traction Tunnels in the mountainous regions Double stack containers

23. Air conditioned trains at speeds of up to 200km/h Run in each direction every two hours mainly during the day Freight trains operating at 80-120km/h, and will operate mainly at night Diesel engine will cut the greenhouse gas emissions compared with road transportation Statistically, rail transportation is significantly safer Railway Characteristics
