Visiting Dubai

Launched in 2009, the Dubai metro is one of the best ways to get around in Dubai.

The Dubai metro is the world’s longest automated metro system completed in just one building phase. The Dubai metro is 75km long and currently has 12 trains. When the metro is fully completed in 2011, there will be 44 trains on the Dubai metro.

Dubai Metro Lines

The Dubai metro has a system of lines that are distinguished by color. Currently the Red Line is open, with stops at Nakheel Harbour & Tower, Mall of the Emirates, Financial Centre, Al Jafiliya, Khalid Bin Al Waleed, Union Square, Al Rigga, Deira City Centre, Airport Terminal 3, and Rashidiya Terminal. The Green Line will be the next to open, followed by planned Blue, Purple, and Yellow lines.

Dubai Metro Tickets

Tickets for the Dubai metro come on rechargeable cards that can be purchased at vending machines in Dubai metro stations. A one way journey on the Dubai metro costs between Dhs1.80 to Dhs5.80, depending on your final destination on the metro. Different classes of Dubai metro tickets can be purchased, so if you want to ride on leather seats in the carpeted Gold Class cars, you can pay up for luxury.

Dubai Metro Hours

The Dubai metro is open from Saturday to Thursday 6am-11pm, and Friday 2pm-midnight.
