"Haj goes upmarket for progressive pilgrims" from South China Morning Post

"A US$6 billion rail link will connect the two holy cities, slashing journey times, while a US$2.4 billion upgrade will increase the capacity of Medina airport from three million to 12 million passengers a year. King AbdulAziz International airport in Jeddah will also expand its capacity, from 30 million travellers by 2012 to 80 million when finished.

The al-Mashaaer al-Mugaddassah metro will cary people between Muzdalifah, Mina and Mount Arafat, important locations for pilgrimage rituals. At its peak it will transport 72,000 passengers per hour in each direction."
