And from Dammam to the State of Qatar through Salwa. The GCC rail network would also link Qatar with Bahrain via the Qatar – Bahrain Causeway to be established between them, and from Saudi Arabia through Al Batha to the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi – Al Ain) and then to end up in Oman across Sohar to Muscat. The total project length is approximately 2116 km.
