The Hafeet Rail project, a groundbreaking railway initiative connecting the United Arab Emirates and Oman, is currently 40% complete. This $2.5 billion venture aims to establish a cross-border rail network that will significantly enhance travel, trade, and tourism in the Gulf region. Once operational, trains will travel at speeds of up to 200 km/h, allowing passengers to travel from Abu Dhabi to Sohar in just 1 hour 40 minutes, a considerable reduction from the previous 3 hours 25 minutes by road.
