The city of Dubai has one of the best infrastructure facilities in the world through its policy of investing heavily in transport, energy, telecommunications, and industrial infrastructure. As a result, the city’s extensive network of infrastructure enables smooth running of business and ensures a high quality of life for its citizens. Some of the key infrastructure in Dubai includes:

The roads in Dubai have been ranked second in the world amongst cities for overall quality, and eighth in terms of quality of overall infrastructure.

Dubai Metro

One of the largest infrastructure developments in Dubai was the Dubai metro system. This was opened in 2009 and is the longest unmanned light rail network in the world. The metro system is continuously undergoing updates to improve transport links for the public and there are now plans to install a new line in the Dubai metro system which will connect the current Dubai International Airport with the new Dubai World Central Al Maktoum International Airport at Jebel Ali.
