Dubai's first Etihad Rail station, dubbed Dubai Al Yalayis Station, is nearing completion for its scheduled opening on September 30. The station, located adjacent to Jumeirah Golf Estates, is expected to have a transformative impact on the emirate's transport, infrastructure, and property sectors. Experts predict more people will commute between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, leading to increased property values in the surrounding area, known as Dubai South.
The station will be connected to the Dubai Metro Red Line via a pedestrian walkway, with plans to expand to a Gold Line interchange in the future. The opening of the station is seen as a key step in reducing car dependency and increasing public transport usage in the UAE, with the 2040 Urban Master Plan targeting 55% of the population within 800 meters of a major transport station by 2040.
