Etihad Rail stations will host extravagant laser displays this Friday evening to commemorate the expansion of the passenger rail network. The festivities will illuminate Dubai's Al Yalayis station in Jumeirah Golf Estates, Abu Dhabi's Mohamed bin Zayed City station, and Fujairah's Al Hilal, which all opened their doors to the public on Wednesday.
Additional celebrations took place on Thursday, with the laser shows set to run from 7pm until 1am, marking a significant milestone in the rapid growth of train services across the country.
The newly inaugurated Dubai-Al Abiad commuter line serves as a crucial route connecting the capital to the Northern Emirates, while also providing direct access to Fujairah. Sharjah's Al Dhaid train station welcomed its first passengers on Wednesday, bringing the total number of stops to four and expanding the Etihad Rail map.
By the end of March, a total of ten stations will be fully operational, with further expansion plans in the works to better interconnect the Emirates, stimulate the economy, and encourage motorists to opt for rail travel. Etihad Rail shared the news on social media, "We celebrate the official launch of the network, with passenger services now connecting Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Al Dhaid and Fujairah. Don’t miss the laser shows at our stations in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Fujairah."
