The Hejaz railway station, opened in 1913, was the northern terminus of the Ottoman-built Hejaz Railway, linking Damascus to Medina in 1908, built to ferry pilgrims eventually to Mecca for the hajj; the railway was repeatedly attacked during WWI, closing only 7 years later, and eventually abandoned in 1920. The station is now a railway museum.
