Elon Musk's Boring Company has announced plans to construct 150 kilometers of underground tunnels across the United Arab Emirates after securing a $3 billion funding round led by the UAE. The company highlighted its existing strong relationship with the Emirates, stating that this investment aims to accelerate their partnership and deploy mass quantities of underground infrastructure throughout the country.
The Dubai Loop, a high-speed underground transport network aimed at reducing congestion in Dubai, is expected to commence operations within two years. The Boring Company announced the significant funding round in September 2026, with other notable investors including Human Capital, Vy Capital, Valor Equity Partners, and Sequoia.
The Dubai Loop is part of Dubai's broader public transport drive to ease traffic congestion and accommodate population growth, with plans for a Metro Gold Line and the expansion of the existing Dubai Metro system.
