The UAE's Etihad Rail has announced the first high-speed all-electric passenger train, connecting Dubai and Abu Dhabi in just 30 minutes. Running at speeds of 350kmph, this revolutionary transport option promises sustainability and efficiency for commuters.

The high-speed train will pass through six stations, including Reem Island, Saadiyat, Yas Island, and Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi, as well as near Al Maktoum International Airport and Al Jaddaf in Dubai. In addition to this, a regular passenger train is being introduced to connect the entire UAE and potentially the GCC region.

The project is projected to contribute Dh145 billion to the UAE's GDP over the next 50 years. The regular passenger train, traveling at 200kmph, will connect all emirates and extend to Oman, passing through Mezeira’a, Liwa Desert, and Sharjah. It will also feature four main stations in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, and Fujairah.

The high-speed train infrastructure will be developed post-tender, while the regular-speed train is ready but lacks a confirmed operational timeline. The regular train can accommodate 400 passengers, providing a reliable alternative for inter-emirate travel.
