Hejaz Railway Museum, Railway museum in Medina, Saudi Arabia
The Hejaz Railway Museum occupies a restored Ottoman station building with fourteen exhibition halls containing locomotives, wagons, and historical artifacts from the railway era.
The museum preserves the legacy of the Hejaz Railway, which operated from 1908 to 1920 and reduced pilgrim travel time between Damascus and Medina from forty to five days.
The exhibition displays regional artifacts, including ancient water buckets, stone bowls, coffee kettles, and ceramic containers that reflect daily life across different centuries.
Located on Omar Ibn Al Khattab Road, the museum opens from 9 AM to 9 PM Saturday through Thursday, and from 5 PM to 9 PM on Fridays with free admission.
The museum maintains several restored train engines on functional tracks, allowing visitors to observe operational historic railway equipment from the Ottoman period.
