Hafeet Rail lets contracts to build Oman – UAE railway

 from Railway Gazette International


Three agreements have been signed paving the way for construction of a 303 km mixed-traffic railway linking the port of Sohar in Oman with Abu Dhabi in the UAE.

The contracts for the project, which is expected to have a total budget of around US$3 billion, were announced on April 23 during the joint UAE-Omani Business Forum in Abu Dhabi.

At the same event, the Oman – Etihad Rail joint venture of national railway project promoters Oman Rail and Etihad Rail, which was formed in September 2022, announced that it is to rebrand as Hafeet Rail. Hafeet Rail will also maintain the railway line between Sohar and the existing UAE national rail network.
