Dubai Al Yalayis Station, part of Etihad Rail's passenger network, is scheduled to open on September 30, 2026. A 300-metre pedestrian link is under construction to connect the new station with Jumeirah Golf Estates Metro Station on Dubai Metro's Red Line. Once complete, passengers will be able to transfer between Etihad Rail and Dubai Metro without crossing roads or using taxis. The station will form part of Etihad Rail's wider passenger network, which will cover about 900km and include 11 cities and regions across the seven emirates, stretching from Al Sila in the west to Fujairah on the east coast. Etihad Rail and Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority have partnered to allow passengers to use Nol cards across the rail and public transport network.
