Etihad Rail's stations in Dubai and Al Dhaid, in Sharjah, open this morning, joining the Abu Dhabi to Fujairah route that launched at the end of June. From the Al Yalayis station, the journey to Abu Dhabi takes around 64 minutes, with tickets from AED 39 for standard class and AED 109 for premium.

So will people really swap the drive for the train? How will attractions and tourist spots benefit from these newly-opened stations?

Is mental health care becoming more accessible in the UAE?

And why has OpenAI scrapped the release of its next-generation model?
