Dubai will begin construction of the first phase of the Dubai Loop, an underground transport project developed in partnership with Elon Musk’s Boring Company, with an initial investment of about Dh565 million.
The project, announced less than a year ago by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, is expected to significantly enhance the city’s urban mobility network by linking key commercial, residential and tourist hubs through underground tunnels.
