Dubai Tram has won the Transport Project of the Year Award presented by MEED International (Middle East) in recognition of quality projects in the region. Awarding the Dubai Tram tantamount to a recognition of the excellent and exclusive services it provides to riders. That has taken place recently in an awarding ceremony in Dubai.
The Award is an important addition to the impressive array of achievements of Dubai in the field of transport, which has become the backbone of the flourishing tourist and service industry in the Emirate. It fits well with the global recognition of Dubai as a premier destination for investors, business leaders, tourists and visitors from all over the globe.
The Award adds to the culture of excellence and quality synonymous with Dubai.

It marks the expeditious efforts made to examine the best practices of the rail industry, especially the tram.
