The United Arab Emirates officially launched the trial operation of its first passenger railway — the Etihad Rail passenger network — on June 30, 2026, with the inaugural route connecting Abu Dhabi to Fujairah. This marks the beginning of a new era for railway passenger transport in the UAE.
阿联酋首条客运铁路——阿提哈德客运铁路于2026年6月30日正式启动试运营，首期开通阿布扎比至富查伊拉线路，标志着阿联酋铁路客运时代正式开启。
The Etihad Rail passenger network is one of the UAE's largest infrastructure projects in recent years. It will connect 11 cities and regions across all seven emirates through 11 passenger stations. The initial Abu Dhabi-Fujairah route takes approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. Dubai Station and Zayed Station are scheduled to open on September 30, 2026, while Dhafra Station will begin operations on December 30, 2026, and Sharjah Station by March 30, 2027. By 2030, the railway's total passenger volume is expected to reach 36 million person-trips per year.
阿提哈德客运铁路是阿联酋近年来规模最大的基础设施项目之一，将连接阿联酋7个酋长国的11个城市和地区，共设11座客运车站。首期阿布扎比至富查伊拉线路全程约1小时45分钟。迪拜站和宰德站将于2026年9月30日启用，宰夫拉站计划于12月30日运营，沙迦站将于2027年3月30日启用。到2030年，该铁路客运总量预计将达3600万人次/年。
Multiple Chinese enterprises participated in the Etihad Rail project, including CRI (China Railway International), CRRC (China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation), PowerChina, and China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC). CRI project leader Yu Hao stated that builders will fully leverage the advantages of the entire industrial chain in infrastructure construction to create more demonstration projects of China-UAE infrastructure cooperation.
多家中国企业参与项目建设，包括中铁国际、中国中车、中国电建、中国土木等。中铁国际项目负责人於昊表示，建设者将充分发挥在基础设施建设领域的全产业链优势，打造更多中阿基础设施合作示范工程。
The UAE passenger railway complements the broader Gulf railway integration effort. The Hafeet Railway, a 238-kilometer cross-border line connecting Abu Dhabi (UAE) to Sohar (Oman) via Al Ain and Buraimi, began construction in late 2024 and is progressing steadily. As the Gulf's first跨境 railway, it will significantly enhance regional logistics efficiency. PowerChina is applying innovative technologies at the Sohar freight station, including new concrete materials adapted to local soil conditions that reduce carbon emissions, and China-made CNC wheel lathes for the maintenance depot.
阿联酋客运铁路与更广泛的海湾铁路一体化进程相呼应。哈菲特铁路——一条238公里的跨境线路，连接阿布扎比至阿曼苏哈尔——于2024年底开工建设，目前进展过半。作为海湾地区首条跨境铁路，该项目将显著提升区域物流效率。中国电建在苏哈尔货运站采用新技术新工艺，包括针对当地土质调整的新型混凝土配比实现低碳减排，以及中国制造的不落轮数控镟床保障运营安全。
Chinese Ambassador to the UAE Zeng Jixin described the Etihad Rail station project as a landmark achievement of high-quality China-UAE Belt and Road cooperation, providing a successful model for deepening the comprehensive strategic partnership. The railway network is expected to drive tourism, trade, and logistics across the UAE and the broader Gulf region, strengthening connectivity between Asia, Africa, and Europe.
中国驻阿联酋大使曾继新表示，阿提哈德铁路车站项目是中阿高质量共建"一带一路"的标志性成果，为深化两国全面战略伙伴关系提供了成功范例。该铁路网络预计将推动阿联酋乃至整个海湾地区的旅游、贸易和物流发展，巩固其作为连接亚非欧枢纽的战略地位。
