During a media briefing in Abu Dhabi, Mohammed Al Shehhi, Chief Projects Officer at Etihad Rail, indicated that the construction of the train and its associated infrastructure will commence following the completion of tenders. However, a timeline for the project’s completion has not yet been established.
This high-speed train initiative is projected to contribute approximately Dh145 billion to the UAE’s GDP over the next 50 years.
In addition to the high-speed service, a regular passenger train will also be developed, designed to connect all the emirates and extend towards the border with Oman.
This train will travel at speeds of 200 km/h and accommodate up to 400 passengers. It will traverse notable routes, including Mezeira’a and the scenic Liwa Desert, with stations planned for Sharjah and Fujairah.
Although the regular passenger train is fully equipped, details on its operational launch remain undisclosed.
