Etihad Rail will start passenger train services in the UAE on June 30, 2026, connecting 11 cities and regions. Residents and commuters across the country will be affected by this launch, which promises to revolutionize intercity travel in the UAE.
The introduction of Etihad Rail passenger services marks a significant milestone in the UAE’s transport infrastructure development, providing an alternative to driving and domestic flights for long-distance travel.
