- Etihad Rail began passenger operations this week and now runs three round trips a day between Mohamed bin Zayed City station in Abu Dhabi and Fujairah.
- Introductory fares are Dh55 for Comfort class and Dh120 for Premium class, with three ticket types—Saver, Value, and Flex—available online, via the mobile app, and at station vending machines.
- Published timetables show morning, afternoon and evening departures from Abu Dhabi and matching return services from Fujairah that allow about seven hours on the ground for a same‑day trip.
- Mohamed bin Zayed City station offers free parking for ticket holders, bicycle and e‑scooter parking, taxi points and a Dh10 shuttle to Reem Mall/ADNOC/ADNEC that must be booked with tickets.
- Fujairah Tourism has partnered with a slate of hotels to give Etihad Rail passengers discounts of up to 25% on rooms, dining and spa access when guests present a valid rail ticket, a move aimed at driving visitor numbers and local tourism revenues as the national rail network expands.
