With a capacity to carry 50 passengers, the new double-decker trolley will cover a distance of 1km along Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard. In the initial phase, it will provide access to landmarks such as Burj Khalifa, The Dubai Mall and Souk Al Bahar.
Emaar Properties managing director Ahmad Al Matrooshi said: "By integrating the unmatched aesthetics of a trolley tram with a state-of-the-art locomotive system, Emaar is presenting a sustainable transport mode for visitors and residents in downtown Dubai.
"Apart from being environmentally sustainable and enhancing the convenience of the public, it is designed to be another compelling tourist attraction in Dubai."
The Dubai Trolley will also offer convenient hop-on hop-off stops at three downtown hotels such as the Address Downtown Dubai, Vida Downtown Dubai and Manzil Downtown Dubai.
