The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC), in collaboration with the National Center for Privatisation & PPP and Qiddiya Investment Company, has launched the registration phase for companies interested in participating in the Qiddiya High-Speed Rail Project.
The project will be delivered under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. It will link King Salman International Airport, King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD), and Qiddiya City with a high-speed service operating at 250 km/h. The planned travel time between these destinations is 30 minutes.
The Qiddiya high-speed rail line will complement Riyadh’s wider transport infrastructure, integrating with the recently introduced Riyadh Public Transport (RPT) network. RCRC has stated that the project will form part of the city’s broader mobility framework, aimed at improving accessibility and supporting sustainable urban development.
The scheme is aligned with Saudi Vision 2030 and reflects ongoing efforts to encourage private sector involvement in large-scale infrastructure projects through PPP agreements.
Specialised companies and investors are invited to submit expressions of interest by emailing [email protected]. Applications must be received no later than 18:00 (Saudi time) on 12 October 2025.
