Brief About The Project: 

The idea of the project is to rehabilitate the Hijaz railway line and turn it from a line to transport a tourist line that will transport tourists through the archaeological tourist areas of Palestine through a path called (Al-Kharq road) between Sabastiya, Masoudiya, Anabta and Bal'a.
This route is like a tourist trip that starts with tourists from the area of Sabastiya to identify the monuments there . Then the tourists travel by train to the Masoudia area, which has been rehabilitated in this project as a cultural tourism area . Then we move to Anabta area, which is characterized as a green area,and then end the tourists walking path inside the old Ottoman Bal’a Tunnel.
