Fast, efficient, and kinda exciting

The trains are expected to reach speeds of 200km/h and can carry up to 400 passengers. Need to get from Abu Dhabi to Dubai? That’ll only take around 57 minutes. Planning a trip to Fujairah? You’ll be there in 105 minutes. No traffic, no stress.

Stations coming SOON!

The first confirmed stations are in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, and Fujairah. The Fujairah station will be in Sakamkam, and Sharjah’s will be close to the airport and University City. While the exact Dubai and Abu Dhabi locations haven’t been revealed yet, rumor has it Dubai’s station will be near Jumeirah Golf Estates.

Also, Sheikh Mohammed praised the team behind the project and highlighted the UAE’s commitment to constant development. “Proud of a country that never stops working, but rather adds a new building block to its future infrastructure every day,” he said.
