The visit reflects a high level of readiness as the gradual operation of the passenger train approaches this year, in a step that enhances the national transport system and supports the state's orientations towards developing a more efficient and sustainable infrastructure.

The tour has also highlighted the ingenuity of the project’s infrastructure implementation at the level of the station and its facilities, the luxury of the train’s classes and the services provided to passengers.

The trial trip from Fujairah to Al Bithnah and getting to know the geography of the rail route and the landscapes it crosses all demonstrate the operational efficiency and the level of comfort expected for passengers when the actual service begins.

STRATEGIC PROJECT: The Fujairah station is a strategic project that enhances the emirate’s position within the national transport network, as it provides a direct connection that supports the movement of individuals and the business sector.
