Our first stop on the busy sightseeing day was the Hejaz Railway, which once ferried pilgrims from Damascus in Syria to Amman and then to Medina in Saudi Arabia. Still, only the breeze rolls through this historic old station at present. There’s a small on-site museum (🎟️ free), and you can sit in the elaborately decked Royal Carriage. Occasionally, there are rumors that a tourist service will start using the splendid steam locomotive, but plans seem to run into the buffers forever.
