🚆🇦🇪 September 30, 2026 — Another Major Milestone for Etihad Rail!
The UAE’s passenger rail journey is entering its next big phase.
From September 30, 2026, Etihad Rail will expand passenger operations with the opening of:
📍 Dubai Station
📍 Al Dhaid Station
The date also marks the official launch phase of the UAE passenger rail network, following the introductory Abu Dhabi–Fujairah service that began on June 30.
🚆 The network is being rolled out progressively, with Zayed City and Liwa scheduled for November 30, other Al Dhafra stations on December 30, and Sharjah Station on March 30, 2027.
Etihad Rail says the passenger network is designed to make travel between emirates more convenient, reliable and connected for work, family and leisure.
🔥 September 30 could change the way UAE residents travel between cities.
