The Al Mashaaer Al Mugaddassah Metro Line (English: The Sacred Sites Train Line, Arabic: قطار المشاعر المقدسة, romanized: qtar al mashaaer al muqaddassah), is a metro line in the city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Claimed to have the highest capacity of any metro in the world, it operates for seven days a year, and is used exclusively as a shuttle train for pilgrims between holy sites in Mecca, Mount Arafat, Muzdalifah and Mina to reduce congestion caused by thousands of buses and cars during the Hajj. It is the second metro system on the Arabian Peninsula, after the Dubai Metro (although, with its limited open hours, some consider it more of a shuttle train service).[citation needed]
The line opened on 13 November 2010,[1] in time for the Hajj 1431 between 25–29 November 2010.[2] It was built separately from, and will not be physically linked to, the future Mecca Metro network.
