The first pod prototype for Dubai's proposed 700mph Hyperloop was unveiled on Saturday.
In a tweet by the Dubai Media Office, it is stated that the mode of transport could cut travel time between Dubai and Abu Dhabi to just 12 minutes.
Normally, the trip between the two emirates takes an hour-and-a-half. The project would also save an estimated $800 million in lost working hours.
