DUBAI — Oman Rail and Etihad Rail Company are inviting pre-qualification bids from companies specialized in executing mega infrastructure projects in Oman, as part of a $3 billion joint venture to develop and build a railway network between the two countries, the Oman News Agency reported on Wednesday.
The move aims to expand the role of the private sector in the state-owned project and the national economy of both nations, with the project meant to connect Oman’s Sohar Port to the north of the country with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) National Rail Network.
