Abstract:

This article examines the financial sources of the Hejaz Railway project in light of the Ottoman press between 1900 and 1908. The construction of the main route of the Hejaz Railway project started in 1900 and it was completed by 1908: the length of the railroad reaching to Medina was 1,303 kilometers long and the total length of the railroad reached to 1,464 kilometers when it was extended to Haifa in 1908.
