His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on Wednesday unveiled Dubai Metro's new 24-km Gold Line that will be built at a cost AED 34 billion.
Making the announcement on his official social media channels, Sheikh Mohammed said the new Dubai Metro will "pass through 15 key strategic areas across the city, serve approximately 1.5 million residents, and strengthen connectivity to 55 major real estate developments currently under construction".
It will be from Dubai's historic Al Ghubaiba (north) to Jumeriah Golf Estates.
The Gold Line, he added, will increase the length of the Dubai Metro network by 25 per cent, and is scheduled for completion on 9/9/2032.
"Our landmark projects to position Dubai as the world’s best city to live in are on track," Sheikh Mohammed wrote. "Our future endeavours will not stop; rather, they will accelerate.
"Our plan is to build a better future for millions of people. We stand by our words and deliver on them."
