Which two countries recently launched the ‘Secure Green Land Corridor’ across the Rub’ al Khali (Empty Quarter) for freight movement?

Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option A: Oman and Saudi Arabia. Oman and Saudi Arabia launched the Secure Green Land Corridor in August 2026 as a bilateral land-based freight route through the Rub’ al Khali, also known as the Empty Quarter. The corridor connects Sohar Port in Oman with an inland dry-port facility in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province, linking maritime and inland freight networks. The corridor was associated with a bilateral logistics agreement announced by Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Transport on 6 August 2026. The corridor was activated through a strategic partnership between Oman-based Arkan Logistics and Saudi Arabia’s SPARK Logistics. The Rub’ al Khali is one of the world’s largest continuous sand deserts and extends across Saudi Arabia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen. The direct land route is reported to reduce freight transit time by 14–18 hours and provides an alternative route that can bypass the Strait of Hormuz and selected UAE transit routes.
