8 corridors linking 28 cities, about 1,500 km measured city to city in straight lines (about 1,800 km built, at a route factor of 1.2), with 13 cross-border links and crossings. Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria: the coast from Gaza to Tripoli, the West Bank, Amman to Aqaba, and Damascus to Aleppo and Türkiye, with links to Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Jerusalem is a shared city, joined by links to the Israeli and Palestinian corridors.
The Network Concept
The corridors.
Each corridor is listed below in order of its cities.
MMC the Levant network concept, schematic. Dark lines are corridors; grey lines are neighbouring corridors; gold lines are cross-border links; blue dashed lines are sea crossings; gold dashed lines are mountain tunnels; the wide gold band marks the spines. Routes are indicative.
Routes are indicative. Corridors are drawn city to city, through the cities on the existing railway wherever a line exists: MMC corridors follow those lines, upgrading the line or running above it on viaduct. Where no line exists, the corridor is new build. Final alignments are set at detailed design by terrain survey, geotechnical analysis, environmental and cultural heritage assessment, and agreement between the nations they connect.
