About Etihad Rail

Etihad Rail, the developer and operator of the UAE's national railway network, has successfully delivered one of the region's most transformative infrastructure achievements. Established in June 2009 under Federal Law No. 2, Etihad Rail has completed the UAE's national freight railway network, connecting the seven emirates and supporting the movement of goods across the country. Built to the very highest international standards, Etihad Rail's state-of-the-art network serves as a catalyst for economic growth and sustained social development, redefining logistics and transport across the UAE. The cost-effective railway network incorporates energy efficiency and sustainability while providing unique solutions for freight movement, distribution, handling, logistics, and clearances. As work progresses on passenger rail services that will further connect communities across the UAE and link to the broader GCC railway network, Etihad Rail continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of sustainable transportation in the region.
