    A piece of history from the Ottoman Empire in Saudi Arabia. These pictures were mainly taken in Tabuk, however if you travel by car on the Tabuk-Madinah road, you can see many stations and the actual train tracks along the way from Tabuk to Madinah.

    Bad experience, security guard doesnt let me in. I travel from jeddah to tabuk and spend my long week vacation just to see some historic places in tabuk but it turns out security guard doesnt understand that this place open for public. Even though i arived 1 hour before there closing time. Better kuck next time!

    It is nice place to be visited as it takes you to a historical journey that will fulfill your knowledge of more than 100 years of Historical facts. Honestly, the place from outside had attractive us to go inside and visit this museum as it is really beautiful. This project is still under development and I am sure when it gets completed, it will amazing Tourist destination in Tabuk 🇸🇦. Highly recommended to be visited.

    Located in Tabuk, Hijaz Railway Station was built almost a century ago to take Muslim pilgrims from Damascus to the holy cities of Makkah and Medina but ended in ruins less than two decades after its start. It has become a famous tourist attraction and was recently declared a UNESCO world heritage site in Tabuk. It's a small museum with little details Nicely kept and maintained No entry fee Requires hardly half an hour

    Nice place to visit if you are in Tabuk and get a little history on the city. Being that there isn’t much to do in this city this place is considered an attraction

    What I expected was not there,just entered and saw few sleepy and unconcerned guards around doing noting.....only the small museum with the basic knowledge about the railways was described....the otr places around wer not allowed.....so don't have big expectations...

    It is nice place. The historical buildings built by Turks still looks like new. It is city centre place where the museum project is still under process. I wish they complet this project before I leave Saudi Arabia. Beside this Railway station and the museum you can enjoy fresh air in the park as well. It is small park but looks nice surrounded by the traffic.car parking facility is available free beside the park.

    Small but very nice place to visit. you just need 30-40 minutes to spend there, good information ply cards are placed on wall, an old engine to display. Staff behavior is good too.

    It was nice to see the history. We visited at 13:00 on a Sunday. The guards did not want to let us in at first and no one could speak English. Eventually he let us through the gates because someone wanted to pass us, but said we are not allowed Inside. We Eventually got into the building and was small, but nice. It is very sad that so many tourists from other countries are interested in Saudi's history, but its nearly impossible to get into these museums and heritage sites. All over they are driving Ministry of Tourism cars inside, but they refused to answer questions about any tourism in Tabuk.

    Lovely museum. Closed, but unlocked, so we went in. Had a good look at all of the exhibits in the empty rooms. The offices upstairs were very plush. Comfy chairs at the desks.
