from The Agenda · host Dubai Eye 103.8

Etihad Rail's first passenger train has made history - with the first service travelling from Fujairah and Abu Dhabi.  The train arrived 3 minutes early into Mohamed bin Zayed City station in Abu Dhabi. Our reporter Andrew Hosie is there talking to passengers - and we'll also look into the potential popularity of the service. Meanwhile a new Emiratisation deadline is imminent - and businesses that miss it could face penalties of Dh120,000 a year, for every Emirati hire they miss.  We'll hear from three Emiratis who've made the move into the private sector, and why they reckons other nationals should too!  Plus the Louvre Abu Dhabi has unveiled an ambitious new season of exhibitions - we'll hear what we've got to look forward to.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
