Electric Abra tourist services for visitors to the Global Village

The Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will launch electric Abra tourist services on October 25 for visitors to the Global Village.

RTA is always keen to operate the Electric Abra service every year during the Global Village season. Already the Abras has become very popular among visitors.

"We intend to create a positive experience that contributes to the growth of tourist numbers in the global village", Mohammed Abubakar Al Hashimi, director of marine transport at RTA's public transport agency said, "the positive response was evident from the huge influx of residents and visitors. We have approved the plan to operate two electric abras to serve the guests of the Global Village this season".

Marine transport services are part of RTA's core services. They especially appeal to tourists as riders enjoy scenic views and iconic landmarks of the city during their journeys in Dubai, apart from smooth and enjoyable rides.

The RTA's marine vehicles are designed by renowned boat manufacturers to the best global standards. All facilities are available on board and safety and security measures are in place.
