Connecting the UAE

Etihad Rail covers a network of up to 1,200 km stretching across the Emirates. The railway will connect the UAE to Saudi Arabia via Ghweifat in the West and Oman via Al Ain in the East.

The initial section will cater for freight, but the completed network will carry passenger services. By ensuring frequent and reliable services, journey times will be substantially reduced. This will bring diverse communities together and open up areas that were previously more difficult to reach, through a safe, efficient and sustainable mode of transport that will change everyday lives.
