The Gulf's $100BN Desert Rail Project
Etihad Rail - The Gulf's $100BN Desert Transport Project Etihad Rail is a monumental $100 billion project set to revolutionize transportation across the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It aims to seamlessly connect key trade centers, from the Saudi border to Fujairah on the Indian Ocean coast, with smart technology and engineering marvels. Freight trains will carry 22,000 tons daily at 120 kmph, while passenger trains boast 15 super comfortable carriages with Wi-Fi and entertainment systems. This project not only boosts the economy and creates jobs but also helps the environment by reducing pollution. Implemented in phases, Phase 1 connected Habshan to the port of Ruwais, while Phase 2 aims to connect Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Jebel Ali, and Phase 3 plans to connect the UAE with neighboring countries. Etihad Rail is transforming quiet towns into lively cities, creating local jobs, boosting businesses, drawing in tourism, and paving the way for a better tomorrow."
