It is the Ottomans who built the Hejaz Railway between 1900 to 1908 with the intention of easing Muslim pilgrims travel to the holy places located in the Arab Peninsula. The railway is also contributed to unifying the control of the struggling empire over its outlying territories. The main line connected Damascus to Medina with a distance of 1,320 kilometers. The line traversed the eastern regions of Jordan, passing through Azraq, Qatrana, and Ma'an to the northwest of the Arabian Peninsula, specifically to the Hejaz, where Medina and Mecca are located.
The railroad was an alternative to the old caravan line, which was previously used to transport goods to and from Damascus and the Arabian Peninsula, a round trip that took about four months to complete. The railroad was not a positive thing for the caravan traders as it represented a real threat to their livelihood, and they made a number of attempts to block its construction.
Within four years of its founding in September 1908, the Hejaz Railway was carrying around 300,000 passengers a year. The number was not limited to pilgrims; the Turks began using the railroad to transport soldiers and supplies as well. During World War I (1914-1918), there were several attempts to attack the railroad in order to disrupt the Turkish army's advance.
