Abu Dhabi has very good connection to the road long-distance network in the United Arab Emirates and further across the Arabian Peninsula. Roads in Abu Dhabi are often lined with shrubs and trees that serve to protect against erosion and wind.
The local Department of Transport (DoT) submitted a report in February 2009 on the expansion of public rail transport by 2030. It was announced that the city will build a metro, which will be supplemented in the center by several shorter tram lines. The total length of Abu Dhabi metro routes will be approximately 131 km and will connect all major suburbs such as Saadiyat, Yas Island, Masdar City, Al Raha Beach and the airport.
The construction of Light Rail Transit (LRT), which roughly corresponds to European trams, is also being considered, and will extend to more distant districts that will be built by 2030. One LRT line will also lead to the border with the emirate of Dubai, where it will connect to the red line of the Dubai metro.
UBER and Careem transportation services are also available in Abu Dhabi. Just download the apps and have a registered valid credit card.
