PM Highlights Significance of Aqaba-Ma'an Rail Project
The Jordanian Prime Minister issued an order to implement the Aqaba-Shidiyah-Ma'an railway project, a strategic initiative valued at approximately $2.5 billion. The project aims to boost the economy and development in southern Jordan. It involves connecting the Port of Aqaba with phosphate and potash production areas, covering a length of approximately 403 kilometers. The goal is to transport around 16 million tons of materials annually, while enhancing Ma'an’s capabilities as a logistical hub and creating about 5,000 jobs. The project links ports and mining regions and is considered a significant step within the economic modernization vision to improve infrastructure and facilitate shipping and distribution regionally.
