Etihad Rail has announced that the new passenger rail service will reduce travel times significantly across the UAE. A trip from Abu Dhabi to Dubai will take 57 minutes, and from Abu Dhabi to Fujairah, 105 minutes.

A journey from Abu Dhabi to Al Ruwais will take 70 minutes. The service is expected to boost commuting, tourism, and trade by linking 11 cities, including Dubai, Sharjah, and Fujairah, with trains traveling at up to 200 km/h, carrying up to 400 passengers.

Stations will be integrated with local transport networks, offering connections to taxis and ride-hailing services. The trains will feature Wi-Fi, entertainment systems, and onboard food and drink. Etihad Rail estimates that by 2030, 36 million people will use the service annually.

The first passenger station will be in Fujairah, with future stations planned in Sharjah and other cities. A luxury train service was also unveiled, expected to run from Fujairah to the Liwa desert in Abu Dhabi.

Etihad Rail’s freight network is already operational, and the UAE is collaborating with Oman to develop a rail link between the two countries. The joint project, Hafeet Rail, secured $1.5 billion in funding, supported by international and regional banks. The project also includes contracts issued to China Railway International Group for the construction of stations in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
