On Thursday, the Saudi Ministry of Transport signed a contract with Virgin Hyperloop One to conduct a preliminary study on the use of Hyperloop technology in the field of transporting passengers and goods in the Kingdom.

Virgin Hyperloop One is developing hyperloop technology, and DP World holds the largest share of the investment.

Under the contract, Virgin Hyperloop One will conduct joint research in hyperloop science and technologies and exchange technical visits for officials and specialists in the field of transportation.

The project comes within the objectives of the Saudi Ministry of Transport to plan for the future of modern transportation systems and attract modern technology to facilitate and provide several smart modes of transportation.

This agreement is the latest step in a series of existing partnerships in Saudi Arabia, which include the Misk Foundation and the Economic Cities Authority, in addition to King Abdullah University of Science and Technology.

In 2018, a speed of 380 miles was reached, about 700 km / h

This is good initiative the connectivity becomes tight they can respond quickly to any military threat on all corners of the peninsula shield area quickly with mobilization under an hour. a whole division from the red sea could reach the shores of Oman little over an hour.

But the question is why is Qatar is not linked to this connectivity we have KSA, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman linked together as in one entity but why not Qatar I also assume this project could extend to Jordan and Egypt across the Sharm El-Sheikh zone or even to Sudan at some point
