Plans for rail line between Abha, Jizan
The ministry is working on two approaches: The first includes the privatization of processes and maintenance of the current railways
Riyadh - Muslimchronicle
The Ministry of Transport has developed a comprehensive plan for expanding the rail network, which includes building a railway between Abha and Jizan, Nabil Al-Amoudi, minister of transport, has told Al-Madina newspaper.
“Although projects like building a railway in the southern region require a lengthier construction period, they are part of the ministry’s main plan,” he added.
In a statement following the launch of the “Railway privatization opportunities” workshop on Sunday, Al-Amoudi pointed out that the workshop is the beginning of a railway privatization plan.
“The ministry is working on two approaches: The first includes the privatization of processes and maintenance of the current railways, and the second includes building new rails,” he added.
He said that the land bridge is one of the most important projects and will be offered to the private sector who will build and operate it.
“We are waiting for the private sector’s response on whether they would be able to handle this project or not,” he said.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
