Abstract is: Hejaz railway station (Arabic: محطة الحجاز, French: Gare du Hedjaz) is a former main railway station in central Damascus, Syria close to the Marjeh Square. The station was put into operation under the Ottoman Empire in 1907, when the first section of the line to the south of Tabuk was opened. In 1909 the trains circulated frequently between Damascus and Medina. It was part of the Hejaz Railway, and there were many railway stations of the railway. This includes 'Hejaz railway stations' at: al-Taibe, Amman, Anese, Bosra, D'ara, Derra, Djizeh, el-Akhthar, el-Ula, Haifa, Jisra, Kadem, Khamees, Makarin, Ma'an, Marfaq, Meda'in Saleh, Muazzem, Tabuk, Wadi Kelt, Wadi Rum, Zarqaa and Zat ul Hajj. The passenger building, designed by the Spanish architect , was commissioned in 1913. The building later became a historical monument and a Swiss-made locomotive was exhibited in front of it. The station's interior has a beautiful decorated ceiling. The actual platforms of the station are closed.

Description: One of pictures of the buildings exterior and interior. The Hejaz railway station, which was built in 1917 to transport pilgrims from Damascus to Mecca. Inside the coloured glass is striking, as is the ceiling. The building is no longer functioning as a station, there was a bookstore and not much else inside. The rails in its back had disappeared.
