Dubai Metro goes on and on and on….to Ajman

Plans have been discussed to extend the Dubai Metro system, which is currently under construction, to neighbouring emirate Ajman.

Although the project is still very much in its “proposal phase”, this surprise news is aimed at meeting the growing demand for a public transport system that will connect the Emirates.

According to the proposal, the metro will pass through Emirates Road to Al Corniche in Ajman. From there it will go to Al Zawra and then onto new investment areas currently under development. Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Chairman of Ajman Municipality and Planning Department has, however, stressed that this proposal is only in discussion and many considerations still have to be made.

Construction of the Dubai Metro system is well underway with the first lines due to open in September 2009 and fully operational by 2012. Metro transport is favoured by many as a fast, safe, economical way of getting around, and with over 70km of train lines planned for Dubai; huge areas can be covered in a short space of time.

With the continuous success of Dubai in the property rankings, Ajman is attracting a wealth of investors looking to follow in the triumphant footsteps of Dubai. More and more people are investing in Ajman, and with the current forecasts predicting some very attractive capital appreciation, this emirate is sure to be a winner for anyone’s property portfolio. If the extension of the metro to Ajman receives the “green light”, Ajman will undoubtedly go down the same line of success as Dubai.

Marketing Director of Dream Homes Worldwide Adam Godwin, comments, “With property in Ajman boasting a freehold status, as well as the same attractive personal taxation environment as Dubai, Ajman is a safe and secure emirate in which to invest. With an expected rapid increase in population over the coming years, property prospects are certainly looking positive.”
