It will run from the Saudi Arabian border at Ghweifat in the west, via or close to the cities of the Gulf coast, to the Northern Emirates and the East coast. There will also be a line running from Abu Dhabi to Al Ain, with and intended connection into the Sultanate of Oman, as well as a branch line to the gas facilities at Shah and Habshan.
