Rail transport in the United Arab Emirates

The United Arab Emirates has a very limited rail network, and has developed or is developing the following railways:

Contents

Urban

  • Dubai Metro
  • Palm Jumeirah Monorail in Dubai
  • Dubai Tram in Dubai

    • Under Construction

  • Abu Dhabi Metro

    • Freight and Intercity

  • Etihad Rail network : A new railroad system in the UAE. 264-km track is already complete and freight service has started. Passenger traffic will start soon. Other lines are still under construction (see next point)
  • 1200 km of new freight and passenger lines will link the UAE, from the Saudi border on the west, to the Oman border on the east, hopefully by 2018
