Abu Dhabi to Dubai High Speed Rail

The announced 350 km/h line between the two cities: around 30 minutes end to end, with stations planned to serve key districts including Saadiyat Island, Yas Island, Zayed International Airport, Al Maktoum International and Dubai. Timelines belong to the railway.

What it means for property

The single most consequential announcement for island Abu Dhabi: a Saadiyat address 30 minutes from Dubai is a different asset from a Saadiyat address 75 minutes away. Every market that gained high speed rail repriced its station districts ahead of opening, and the announcement window is when off-plan buyers position.
