The high-speed Etihad Rail line will connect key destinations and major tourist attractions

 

Etihad Rail has officially confirmed that its highly anticipated passenger train service will begin operations in 2026, marking a major leap forward in the country’s transportation landscape.

The project is one of the most ambitious infrastructure undertakings in the region. Once operational, the new passenger train will offer fast, efficient, and environmentally friendly travel, linking key urban hubs across the Emirates.

The high-speed rail line will connect key destinations and major tourist attractions, making travel between the two emirates faster, safer, and more efficient.

Set to transform the way people move around the UAE, this cutting-edge rail system will not only reduce travel times significantly but also contribute to sustainability goals by reducing road congestion and carbon emissions.

With construction already well underway, the 2026 launch is poised to usher in a new era of seamless, high-speed rail travel across the Emirates.
