Sharjah is embarking on an exciting journey in transportation with the announcement of a new passenger train station that will seamlessly connect to the Etihad Rail network. This major project was unveiled at the Dr Sultan Al Qasimi House, near the University City of Sharjah, in the presence of Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah.
Boosting Connectivity for Thousands
The upcoming train station is expected to make life easier for thousands of commuters, especially students from various universities across the country. By linking the primary railway track to the Sharjah station, Etihad Rail anticipates a significant increase in passenger traffic, with projections reaching up to 14,000 passengers per day.
Connecting Communities in Sharjah
The extension of the railway will not only connect key facilities and landmarks but also densely populated areas within Sharjah. This move aims to enhance connectivity between residential communities across the Emirates, making it simpler for passengers to travel within the network. Sharjah’s strategic location plays a crucial role as it acts as a vital link connecting Dubai with the northern emirates.
Commitment to Innovation and Progress

The collaboration between Etihad Rail and Sharjah authorities demonstrates a shared commitment to realizing the UAE’s vision of a comprehensive and interconnected passenger train system.
