From inside the Hijaz train, which used to connect Istanbul to the Hijaz, passing through Syria, Palestine and Jordan.. In the picture there are passengers from the Levant, Iraq, Mount Lebanon and Turkey

They all ride on the same train without visas, passports, or even an identity card.

They move between the ancient cities of the Levant to Jerusalem, then continue the road to the oases of Jordan, to reach the deserts of Hijaz, Mecca and Medina, as if they were on a bus transporting them from one neighborhood to another within one city.
