Travelers can now officially book their journeys on the Etihad Rail network, with tickets for the highly anticipated Dubai to Abu Dhabi route available through the company’s website and mobile application. Prices for the trip start at an affordable Dh39 per passenger, and the inaugural train is set to depart from Dubai at 6:15 am, offering a convenient new transport link between the two emirates.

The new terminal, officially designated as Al Yalayis Station, is slated to open its doors on September 30, 2026, coinciding with the launch of Al Dhaid Station in Sharjah. Strategically situated in Jumeirah Golf Estates near the E311 highway, the station is positioned to serve a wide range of residents. Its location offers easy accessibility for those living in key areas like Dubai South, Dubai Investment Park, and Al Furjan, marking a significant milestone in the UAE's integrated rail connectivity.
