About us

Pursuant to Federal Law no. 2 of 2009, Etihad Rail Company is being formed with a mandate to manage the development, construction and operation of the UAE’s national railway.

The railway will be built to link the principal centers of population and industry of the UAE, as well as to form a vital part of the planned GCC railway network.

Built to international standards, Etihad Rail’s state of the art network will enable the rapid transport of passengers and freight, opening up new trade corridors and journey opportunities. Once complete, it will redefine logistics and transport in the region, providing as a safe, efficient, sustainable network that links all corners of the UAE, and eventually, the UAE to the wider GCC.

This extensive investment will support the Government’s continued mission to build a diversified economy and continued economic growth.
