- Summary:
- Saudi Arabia and Qatar have signed a landmark agreement to construct a 785 km high-speed electric rail line linking Riyadh and Doha, marking a significant step toward deeper economic integration and political reconciliation in the Gulf. The project represents one of the most ambitious cross-border infrastructure investments in the Middle East and is projected to contribute more than $30 billion to the combined GDP of both countries. This case asks students to assess the economic benefits, political motivations, and social risks of the Saudi-Qatar rail project, and to consider whether such investments can deliver sustainable and inclusive growth while strengthening regional ties.
