The new Abu Dhabi Station has been strategically placed to serve existing residential communities while also supporting future urban expansion. Located near Mussafah and right next to Delma Mall, the site was chosen based on demand, accessibility, and its proximity to surrounding neighbour hoods.

In other words: this wasn’t random… it was planned.

From what’s been revealed so far, the station leans heavily into modern design, smart connectivity, and efficiency. Faster journeys, smoother connections, and a more seamless travel experience are all part of the plan as the UAE pushes forward with long-term transport infrastructure.

This station will play a central role in connecting communities and supporting the wider passenger rail network across the country.

What really stands out is the thinking behind the location and design.

The station reflects a human-centred, demand-led approach to infrastructure planning, one that considers how people live now, and how cities will grow in the future.

It’s another strong signal of how Abu Dhabi is investing in transport systems that aren’t just impressive, but practical.

With Etihad Rail’s passenger network steadily taking shape, projects like Abu Dhabi Station show how the UAE is laying the groundwork for faster, smarter, and more connected travel nationwide.

The reveal is just the beginning… but it’s already clear this is a major step forward!
