Etihad Rail's commercial freight services are fully operational, transporting any type of cargo across the UAE.

Stage Two extends across the UAE from the border with Saudi Arabia at Ghuwaifat, connecting the emirates via Abu Dhabi, KIZAD, Khalifa Port, Jebel Ali Port, Dubai, Sharjah, Ras al-Khaimah and thence to Fujairah on the UAE’s east coast. Etihad Rail will also link with the planned GCC network, crossing borders with the UAE’s GCC neighbours.
