UAE will build high-speed railway between Dubai and Abu Dhabi

The railway company Etihad Rail has announced that it intends to connect the emirates of Abu Dhabi and Dubai by high-speed rail. According to the plan, the train journey from Dubai to Abu Dhabi would take 30 minutes. This is fantastic news for passengers travelling between the UAE's two largest cities. Residents and tourists will be able to travel almost three times faster by high-speed rail than by car or bus. The trains are expected to reach speeds of up to 350 km/h and will eventually connect all cities in the United Arab Emirates with a high-speed rail network.
