Up to recent times, it would have been at least hasty to think about the Metro in the Arab Emirates, though traffic jam already was one of the most irritating aspects of Dubai’s daily life. But around the end of the last millennium the UAE Authorities decided to radicallychange their perspective towards environmental protection and sustainability.

Among the countless actions put into practice after changing their perspective and joining the “Green Cause”, there was also the planning of the Dubai Metro, whose confirmation occurred at the beginning of the 2000s. Construction works started in 2005, thus originating remarkable problems to residents, who really showed calmness in the following years up to September, 9th 2009, when the Dubai Metro was definitely declared open.

A sumptuous ceremony at 09:00 p.m. of 09.09.09 (not by chance!) guided by His Highness Sheik Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President that was broadcast in all of the Emirates, officially inaugurated the Dubai Metro.

Now that residents are enjoying the remarkable advantages of touring by metro, the liking for the massive works in progress for the additional lines to be open from next Spring on is steadily rising.

Reaching also the Palm Monorail Dubai travelling - the first kind of rail transport in Dubai, carried out man-made archipelagos opposite to Dubai’s coast - Dubai Metro serves as many city quarters as possible with its two lines already operating and surely contributes to considerably decrease air pollution and traffic jam as well.

I would not be astonisehd to hear soon about additional railway projects in other Emirates or even in other countries of the Arabian Peninsula. Just think about Abu Dhabi or Riyadh in Saudi Arabia: it’s just a matter of time before seeing them start their metro plans!

The utmost comfort is available both on board and in the stations. The one among them that I consider even futuristic is, no doubt, the WI-FI internet connection! Even difficult to be imagined in some Western cities, it captures both residents and visitors by offering the best value for money: surfing the internet and emailing while travelling.

Moreover, every kind of service is available in the stations together with several kinds of tickets which can mostly be personalized according to one’s requirements.
