The station sits within Hilal City in the Emirate of Fujairah, a strategically chosen location given its close proximity to the emirate's key economic hubs.

Commuters will also find it conveniently situated just 12 minutes from Fujairah International Airport, and the station supports both parking and pick-up/drop-off services for ride-hailing apps.

The station is thoughtfully designed with passenger comfort and accessibility in mind. Its two platforms are reachable by both elevator and escalator, and the facility includes a premium lounge, a help desk, a police hub, and clearly signposted directions throughout.

Once inside the station, passengers can purchase tickets through self-service kiosks, where they can select their departure and arrival stations as well as their preferred travel time.

You can also book your tickets in advance through the Etihad Rail app or website - www.etihadrail.ae.

Tickets are issued either as physical passes or e-passes. Automated barriers at the platform entry require passengers to scan their ticket or e-pass to proceed.

Ticket prices and classes

Etihad Rail offers two main travel classes, with promotional introductory fares currently available:

Each train can accommodate up to 400 passengers and is capable of reaching a maximum speed of 200 km/h. Etihad Rail projects that annual ridership will reach 10 million passengers once services are up and running.

Onboard, there are two travel classes: standard and premium. Standard seating features comfortable grey seats, while the premium cabin offers wider, reclining seats for a more relaxed journey.

Complimentary beverages and snacks are provided onboard for premium class passengers, while standard-class passengers can purchase items from the trolley service.

Across both classes, the train is well-equipped with practical amenities, including retractable tray tables, overhead and under-seat luggage storage, wall-mounted hooks for bags and personal belongings, free onboard Wi-Fi, under-seat USB charging ports and power sockets, and bins throughout the coaches for cleanliness. Safety features are also integrated throughout.

One of the most compelling aspects of the Fujairah to Abu Dhabi route is the scenery.

As the train departs Fujairah, passengers are treated to sweeping views of the Hajar Mountains, the Sheikh Zayed Mosque in Fujairah, Al-Bithnah Fort, and rolling farmland and date palm groves dotting the smaller towns and villages along the way.

The route passes through nine tunnels carved through the Hajar Mountains, with a cumulative length of 6.9 kilometres.

The Abu Dhabi station is located in Mohammed Bin Zayed City, along the edge of Mussafah Industrial Area.

Once you arrive at your destination, much like the Fujairah station, the Abu Dhabi Station is well-equipped with a wide range of amenities, including bus stops, taxi hailing services, ample waiting areas, ticket booking vending machines, food and beverage outlets, and car parking.

Additionally, the station offers a convenient shuttle bus service that transports passengers to and from the station for just Dh10, which can be booked together with your ticket purchase online.
