The dream of travelling from Mumbai to Dubai in just two hours may soon become reality with a proposed underwater high-speed rail project. Spearheaded by UAE’s National Advisor Bureau Limited, the ambitious plan aims to link India and the UAE via an undersea train route under the Arabian Sea. If implemented, the futuristic initiative could redefine international travel by offering a faster, more efficient and environmentally sustainable alternative to air travel.

Although the completion date of the Mumbai-Dubai underwater rail project has not been officially announced, discussions around feasibility and implementation are actively underway. The train is expected to use cutting-edge technologies similar to the Hyperloop, enabling ultra-high-speed travel across approximately 2,000 kilometers. 

While the project's cost remains undisclosed, it is anticipated to involve massive investment. Once completed, it could drastically reduce travel time compared to flights and open up new economic and tourism opportunities between India and the UAE.

For Indian travellers, particularly tourists and business professionals, the project promises a game-changing shift in regional mobility. While air travel remains the primary option today, the underwater rail link could offer a viable, possibly more streamlined alternative in the future. In the meantime, travellers can continue to take advantage of cheap direct flights from cities like Mumbai to Dubai, with multiple airlines providing hassle-free booking and travel options.

While the underwater rail link may take until 2030 or beyond to materialise, it underscores a growing global focus on innovative travel solutions. Until then, traditional air travel, efficient visa services and curated Dubai tour packages remain the best options for Indian tourists eager to explore the UAE.
