Saudi Arabia Railways (SAR) and Italian hospitality company Arsenale have officially unveiled the final designs of the Dream of the Desert train, the first five-star luxury train in the Middle East.
This milestone marks a significant step forward in redefining luxury rail travel in the region, blending contemporary opulence with the rich cultural heritage of Saudi Arabia.
Inspired by the desert landscape and traditional Saudi architecture, the interiors feature refined craftsmanship, with earthy tones, luxurious textiles and intricate decorative details.
Architectural elements and motifs from iconic Saudi landmarks – including Madain Saleh and Hail – are elegantly woven into the train’s design, offering passengers a journey that is both visually and culturally enriching.
Dream of the Desert’s ambitious vision is to redefine luxury train travel in the Kingdom, in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030’s objective of enhancing high-end tourism and supporting the cultural sector. The Dream of the Desert train consists of 14 carriages housing 34 luxury suites, offering an exclusive and intimate experience for travellers.
