Etihad Rail Tickets and Passenger Network in the UAE

Etihad Rail is the national railway operator of the United Arab Emirates, connecting the emirates by standard-gauge rail. Its 900 km network carries both freight and intercity passenger trains, operated by Etihad Rail Passenger Services, a joint venture between Etihad Rail and the international operator Keolis. Passenger routes link Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Fujairah, and the Al Dhafra region, connecting 11 stations across the country. Etihad Rail trains are built by CAF and run at speeds up to 200 km/h, with Comfort Class and Premium Class. Both include guaranteed seating, onboard Wi-Fi, charging points, and food and beverage service. Comfort Class has three fare types, Saver, Value, and Flex, which differ in how much you can change or refund the ticket. A dedicated high-speed line between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, designed for speeds up to 350 km/h, is also planned to cut that journey to around 30 minutes. Rail Monsters provides online search and booking for Etihad Rail routes, schedules, and ticket options across the UAE.

Etihad Rail Network Map and Stations

Etihad Rail's national standard-gauge network runs from the west of Abu Dhabi to Fujairah on the east coast, connecting all seven emirates. Passenger stations include Mohamed bin Zayed City in Abu Dhabi, Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai, Al Dhaid and University City in Sharjah, Al Hilal City in Fujairah, and the Al Dhafra stations of Al Sila, Al Dhannah, Al Mirfa, Madinat Zayed, and Liwa. The line links the capital with the east coast and the western Al Dhafra region, while the same 900 km corridor also carries freight across the country. Onward travel from stations connects to local buses, taxis, and city transport networks. Within Dubai, the RTA Dubai Metro Red Line runs from Centrepoint through Dubai International Airport, Union, BurJuman, Downtown Dubai, and Expo 2020, while the Green Line links Etisalat by e& with Creek through Deira and Bur Dubai. The Dubai Tram serves the Marina area. Etihad Rail also operates a 900 km freight network across all seven emirates.
Background

Etihad Rail History and Development

Etihad Rail was established in 2009 under Federal Law No. 2 to build and operate the national railway network of the United Arab Emirates. The first stage supported freight movement from Shah and Habshan to Ruwais, and later stages expanded the 900 km network across all seven emirates. Freight operations have run since 2016, and the network went on to add national intercity passenger service, operated by Etihad Rail Passenger Services, a joint venture between Etihad Rail and the international operator Keolis. Today Etihad Rail connects the emirates by rail, and booking Etihad Rail tickets online is available at Rail Monsters.
