Dual Architecture
Marine & Terrestrial
Scroll to explore the complete network spanning from Abu Dhabi across the Arabian Gulf, through Iraq, and onward to Europe.
Arabian Gulf Crossing
The marine segment begins in Abu Dhabi, crossing the Arabian Gulf, and lands at Faw, Iraq. Along the way, it branches to connect five GCC countries.
- Abu Dhabi across the Arabian Gulf to Faw, Iraq
- Branches to UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait
- High-capacity submarine fiber optic cable
- Carrier-neutral access for multiple operators
Iraq to Europe Corridor
The land segment begins at Faw and traverses Federal Iraq and the Kurdistan region, connecting to Turkey and onward to European networks.
- Faw through Federal Iraq to Kurdistan Region
- Dual terrestrial routes for full redundancy
- Onward to Turkey and European networks
- Scalable infrastructure for growing bandwidth demands

The Vision
The Future of
Gulf–Europe Connectivity
Bridging continents through resilient infrastructure, creating a faster data path between East and West.
900+ Tbps
of Capacity
Time for a New Era
WorldLink offers a shorter, more direct terrestrial path, bypassing congested Red Sea and Suez Canal routes. The result: dramatically lower latency and higher reliability for critical applications.
Reduced Latency
Faster round-trip times between Gulf hubs and Europe compared to traditional Red Sea/Suez routes.
Low-Latency Corridor
Essential for high-frequency trading, cloud computing, gaming, video conferencing, and latency-sensitive applications.
Future-Ready
Built with scalability in mind, ensuring consistent performance as bandwidth demands grow exponentially.
A critical component of the global internet backbone.
