FUJAIRAH: The launch of Etihad Rail Fujairah passenger services marks a major milestone for the UAE’s transport network, opening faster connections between Abu Dhabi and Fujairah while creating fresh opportunities for tourism, hospitality and local businesses. The new passenger route reduces travel time to around one hour and 45 minutes and has already attracted strong public interest, with more than 10,000 tickets sold ahead of the inaugural service.
Truebell and Fujairah Tennis & Country Club have congratulated the UAE leadership and the Etihad Rail team on the successful introduction of the passenger railway, describing it as a gateway to showcasing Fujairah’s natural beauty, leisure attractions and welcoming community.
The new rail service is also designed to accommodate passengers travelling with their pets, making weekend breaks and family holidays more convenient. Complementing this initiative, the boutique hotel at Fujairah Tennis & Country Club offers pet-friendly accommodation, allowing guests to travel comfortably with their furry companions.
Visitors can also enjoy a range of sports and leisure facilities, including professional tennis courts, modern padel courts, a swimming pool and recreational amenities suitable for families and sports enthusiasts. Dining options at the club include Frenchies, MCG, Backwaters and Cozy Café, providing a variety of international and healthy cuisine in relaxed surroundings.
The arrival of Etihad Rail Fujairah is expected to strengthen domestic tourism by making the emirate more accessible to residents across the UAE. Beyond improved transport links, the railway is anticipated to support local businesses and encourage more travellers to experience Fujairah’s beaches, mountains, cultural attractions and outdoor activities.
As the UAE continues expanding its national passenger rail network in phases, Fujairah stands among the first destinations to benefit from this landmark infrastructure project. For Truebell and Fujairah Tennis & Country Club, the railway represents an opportunity to welcome a new generation of visitors and showcase the emirate’s growing appeal as a leisure destination.
