Dubai is poised to join the UAE's passenger rail network with the opening of a new Etihad Rail station in just one month, set to open on September 30, 2026. The Dubai Al Yalayis Station, located near Jumeirah Golf Estates, will connect the UAE's northern and southern regions, with a journey time of approximately 57 minutes. Situated along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), the station is strategically positioned to serve a wide range of residential communities, including Jumeirah Golf Estates, Al Furjan, Dubai Investment Park, Green Community, Dubai Production City, Expo City Dubai, and Dubai South.
The station's proximity to Jumeirah Golf Estates Metro Station will enable passengers to seamlessly transition between the new rail network and the Dubai Metro, enhancing connectivity for both locals and visitors. The station's location also benefits from its proximity to Al Maktoum International Airport, with a 30-minute drive to the airport, making it an ideal transport hub for the rapidly growing southern Dubai region.
With the planned expansion of the Dubai Metro's Gold Line, which will include Jumeirah Golf Estates as a future station, the Etihad Rail station is poised to become an even more vital link in the UAE's transportation network.
