Dubai Photos – Sneak Peek at the Dubai Metro Underground – Hoax Email?
6 Comments Published by Dubai Expat February 7th, 2008 in Living, News, Tourism.[photopress:dubai_metro_underground_01_1.jpg,full,pp_image]
A bunch of photos (10 shots enhanced a little for color quality and brightness) sent to us by a reader via email – a peek at the work going on under the surface on the upcoming Dubai Metro system underground! PS: If someone knows who took these photos, leave a comment and let us know so the photographer gets appropriate recognition. Also, this seems (most likely) to be a hoax email of shots of the extension to Dubai Airport rather than the Metro underground…anyone have some inside info on these shots?

About the Dubai Metro Project
The Dubai Metro (In Arabic: مترو دبي) is a driverless, fully automated metro network under construction in the United Arab Emirates city of Dubai. The network will have two third rail collection system powered lines that will both run underground in the city center and on elevated viaducts elsewhere on double tracks. The first phase of the network is being built by Dubai Rapid Link (DURL) Consortium which comprises Japanese companies including Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Corporation, Obayashi Corporation, Kajima Corporation and the Turkish company Yapi Merkezi. The Dubai Metro will be operated by the Dubai Road and Transport Authority. The Dubai Metro system will be the longest fully automated rail system in the world. Completion of the first section of the system is projected for 2009.

I highly doubt that this is the new metro pics, it look more like the extension to Dubai Airport.
Definitely the new Airport Concourse…you can tell by the shape of the arched roof & the triangular windows in a couple of the shots…
I think the signs give it away – one of them menetions ‘Check-In’ ……………………………never done that on an underground system before!
just notice the sign board(all departure gates)to realise that this is new DXB airport,not the METRO!!!!!!!!
Wow these images look amazing
great blog about the Dubai Metro Project
Does look alot like an airport though i will admit
