However, passengers wanting to ride the railway still have to wait as it’s only being used for freight at the moment. Milestones highlighted in the clip include; nine tunnels with a total length of 6.5km,
593 bridges and crossings, tourism benefits valued at Dhs23billion and 120 million cubic metres of excavation works.
Etihad Rail’s 1,200 km network extends across the United Arab Emirates, from the border of Saudi Arabia to the border of Oman.

The railway network has been built in stages. The first stage was completed in 2016 and has been fully operational since, transporting up to 22,000 tonnes of granulated sulphur each day from Habshan and Shah to Ruwais on behalf of ADNOC.
Stage two is now finished and the track now extends across the United Arab Emirates from the border with Saudi Arabia at Ghuweifat, connecting the Emirates via Abu Dhabi, KIZAD, Khalifa Port, Jebel Ali Port, Dubai, Sharjah, Ras al-Khaimah and Fujairah.
