Abu Dhabi has partnered with a firm owned by Elon Musk to explore underground transport and tunnels in the emirate. The company in question is understood to be The Boring Company, Musk's tunnelling venture known for the Las Vegas loop system. Deals like this typically begin with feasibility work, mapping which routes could carry vehicles or transit pods beneath congested areas. Dubai has already discussed a similar concept with the same firm, so the idea has precedent in the UAE. Musk has long argued that cheap tunnels can ease surface traffic in fast-growing cities, and Gulf rulers have shown an appetite for bold mobility schemes. The report attached no timeline or budget to the announcement. It fits a wider pattern of the UAE courting prominent American tech entrepreneurs for large infrastructure bets.
