The experimental section will stretch from the Ibn Battuta Shopping Center station in new Dubai to the auxiliary warehouse in the Jebel Ali area. The main goal of the tests will be to identify the readiness of the "red" line of the future metro for commissioning.
According to RTA Chief Executive Officer Abdulmajid Al-Qaya, "the experimental section is a vital element of the project, since it is on it that the trains will be prepared for going on the finished rails of the" red "line." At the same time, some Dubai newspapers are reporting completion of a subway tunnel under the city bay. For unknown reasons, the RTA is silent about this historic event.
