We have created this Dubai Metro map from the information that we have gathered about the Dubai Metro stations, the zones and the current information about stations that are open.
Please note that this Dubai Metro Map is subject to copyright and should not be used without our express permission.
We will continue to keep the Dubai Metro map updated with station name changes and any additional stations that may open once the metro gets extended further out.
Station name changes happen occasionally due to companies purchasing the branding rights for a particular station, you can read about any changes in the news section.

After the red line opening on 9 September 2009, the green line of the Dubai Metro opened on 9 September 2011. A few of the stations did not open straight away. However, as of 1 March 2014 all of the stations were fully open on both the green and red lines and in 2021 the Expo 2020 extension was also fully opened.
Both the green and the red lines will likely be extended further in the future to add to the 18 green line stations and the 35 red line station currently being used. There may also be other lines opening in the future. Check out the news page for ongoing information.
As you can see from the Dubai Metro Zones Map, there are currently 4 zones that encompass the Dubai Metro. There are 7 zones in total that also cover other methods of public transport, like the buses and the tram.
The number of zones that you travel through determines the price of the journey. You can buy tickets that encompass all zones, e.g. a one day pass.
Check out the Dubai Metro Tickets page for full information about the fares payable. Fares increased in November 2014 when the Tram opened but still offer great value for money.

I need to go from Terminal 3 to FZE free zone; the metro goes directly?
Which is the station for FZE?
Thank you
Regards
Which free zone are you going to? I don’t believe FZE is the name of a free zone but stands for free zone enterprise.
I believe you mean the the Airport Free Zone, that is the DAFZA station
Ah yes of course, that is what they meant, in which case they would need to travel to Union station and change.
hello , i am hassan
i want to travel dubai and reach terminal 2. . going union metro station, witch metro station near me at terminal 2.
There is a 24 hour shuttle bus between the terminals at Dubai Airport so you can get the metro to terminal 1 and take the shuttle bus from there.
want to travel by metro from dubai terminal 1 to Dubai Internet city station . Do both the metro stations have lifts to carry luggage . We are a family of 3 and would be having 3 bags + 2 hand bags . Will it be possible to use lifts upto the respective platforms
Hi, yes all the stations have lifts as they are all accessible.
What stations can we park our car for free? I need to come from AbuDhabi and go to Oud Metha, what would be the best route?
Hi, both Centerpoint and Jebel Ali stations have car parks you can use for free if you use the Metro.
How would I get from the Atlantis Hotel to Burj Kalifa?
Sorry for the late reply. You can take the Palm Monorail to Palm Gateway station and either walk/taxi to the nearest metro station (Internet City), or else get on the tram to the Marina and change to the metro there.
Jumeira Golf Estates metro station is designated as a zone in itself, because of this if I travel from Gardens to DIP (just 5 stations away) it’s considered 3 zones. This is quite unfair. This kind of discrepancies should be rectified and a more sensible and economical fare pattern should be adopted.
hallo,
there are no more ticket offices at the metro stations, where i can buy the tickets/cards ?
best regards
As far as we are aware there are ticket offices and machines at each station.
Is there metro station near JVC , from JVC to downtown and vice versa

need to travel jabel ali from union metro, from which metro station i have to get down?
You can get off at Jebel Ali station.
Hi. I put wrong zones in my 30-day pass.
Hi, you will need to contact the RTA.
Hi, From The Garden Metro Station to Dubai Investment park Metro station you are charging AED 7.50. Only 2 Zone shown on your Map. please clarify.
Hi Shafeeq, you are right so is it possible that you didn’t check in and out correctly as if you do not then you will be charged the highest single fare (7.50 AED)?
Hi
We will be staying at the Millennium Airport Hotel and will be travelling daily to Expo 2020 . What would be the fare difference if using the Gold Card or the Silver card . Which would you recommend. We will be Dubai for 8 days and at least 6 days would be spent at Expo 2020 .
Hi, you can find all of the ticket prices on this page. Gold class has bigger seats and less people so it is really up to you to decide if you want to pay the extra.

Hi. I’m traveling to Dubai for 3 days with my wife. Which kind of NoI card do you recommend? And also the best route and means of getting to Union metro station from the airport terminal 3?
It depends how much and in which class you want to travel but you could probably just get a red nol each to use for 3 days. You can put 3 daily passes on them if you need to. Check out the map, you only need to go 5 stops on the red line.
Please suggest a frugal way to visit burj Khalifa
What will be the best option to buy ticket?
TIA
Hi Prashant, sometimes you will find places having special offers on tickets so you just need to keep an eye out for that. otherwise it is always cheaper to book your tickets in advance via the Burj Khalifa ticket website.
Hi,

Regards,
Imran.
Sorry for the delay in replying. There is parking at Jebel Ali station which you can use to park and take the metro.
if i take dubai metro zone pass ( from zone 2 to zone 1) can you confirm zone 2 to zone 1 in rta bus also free , which means this zone pass can be used in both metro as well as buses, and can be used many times even in one day
Hi nikil, I’m not sure I understand what you mean by a ‘zone pass’ – if you travel from one zone to another and include bus and metro then that is classed as one journey (as long as you make the bus transfer within 30 minutes) so you just pay for the whole journey. If you buy a one day ticket (or other duration pass) then you can travel on the metro, bus and tram.
Hi, i will be going to dubai internet city (zone 2) from stadium station (zone5), is that 3 zones? How much fare do i have to pay on the student/personal nol card for my going route?
Hi, it is not the zone numbers that count but rather than the actual number of zones. So you would go through zone 2, 6 and 5 (which is indeed 3 zones). So if you have the concessionary blue Nol card then the current fare is 3.75 dirhams as per the ticket price list here.
Hi, I am a daily user of the metro station from UAE exchange, in your 2021 route map, it says that after UAE Exchange, AL KHAIL station is marked. Please check the station name !! I find no such station is there !!!.
Hi, thanks that was a copy and paste error when creating the new map, I have corrected it now, thanks for spotting that!
Hi, I would like to travel from Cent point station to Expo2020 station with my family. Kindly suggest which tickets i have to purchase?
Hi Shafi, you can purchase either a red or silver nol for each family member. You will travel through 3+ zones so check out the prices on the tickets page.
Hello:
I will be in Dubai soon. I will be traveling from Zone 5 to Zone 6, twice a day (that is, round trip) – for a month. Would it be cheaper to get the Silver card or ? Thank you.
Hi, yes the silver card is cheaper than the red card for a month worth of journeys. You could get a weekly ticket if that works out cheaper.
Hi,
I travel daily from my residence to my office in zone 2 by bus , now I wanted to get monthly pass,
please let me know in zone 2 travel area so that I can travel frequently.
I have managed card and I can update this car in monthly pass.
Thanks
I’m sorry I don’t completely understand your question but monthly ticket prices can be found here.
Hi,
I’m coming to Dubai next month and during my 12 days stay I would be exploring the places by taking Metro. Could you please tell the major attractions in Dubai are in which Zone so that my traveling by metro becomes comfortable and cost effecting.

Hi, you would probably be best off using TripAdvisor or something similar as we do not provide tourist information, sorry.
Hi! Is it possible for 2 people to use the same nol card (red/silver…etc) or each person needs to buy a separate card? TY
No it isn’t – each person needs their own card.
i am staying at the one and only royal mirage, and will be going to the convention center next to the world trade center daily, can i take the red line? or do i need to have multiple tickets, or should i just use a daily ticket? what is the best way to deal with this, and is the metro station next to the hotel?
sorry, i’m a little confused, as this is the first time for me.
thank you
Hi, no the hotel is not next to the Metro station so you will have to find your way to one first. If you’re just going there and back you just get one ticket going each way it’s only worth getting a daily ticket if you are doing more travelling.
Hello! I Will be in dubai for 12 days and I plan to move around all city by metro. what are the best option?thanks

Hi Jamal, I would expect this to be deducted as a separate fare from your Nol card but you should contact the RTA for confirmation.

Dear Sir /Madame,
I am visiting Dubai Air port on 25th nov , to participate in BIG 5 2017.
and hotel is located on Mankhool street . My stay is for seven days.
advise me a metro Ticket card , for my daily traveling as well for sight seeing, which card i should carry / purchase ,for multiple trips and alternate mode of transport
You will need to work out how many journeys you are going to make and if they add up to more than 20 dirhams a day or 110 dirhams for the week. It really depends on where you are travelling and how many trips you make. The Nol card is accepted on the Metro, tram and buses.
Thanks,
lets say from bur Jurman Station to Danube station, twice to and fro.
how much will it cost and which card is useful,
Please see this post.
I am visiting Dubai for one week, and intend to use the metro, is the silver nol the best bet?
Say I use the metro daily, for two journeys how much should I allow per day?
It really depends on where you are travelling to and from on those journeys. If you only go through 2 zones then it will be 5 dirhams each way with a silver Nol card or 6 dirhams with a Red card – so effectively you save 1 dirham per trip. Slver Nol costs 6 dirhams (plus the credit) and red costs 2 so once you have made 4 journeys silver Nol is cheaper effectively.
Hi
this is as clear as mud.
So if you travel from Dubai Mall to Mall of Emirates you travel from 1 zone to the other (1 zone) or is 4 zones as one zone is Zone 2 and the other is Zone 6.
Why can’t these things ever be clear?
Please help
Ha ha yes it is clear as mud! It is 2 zones so should cost you 5 dirhams.
Hi,
I’m staying in Sharjah and my new office is located in Business bay Dubai.
I would like to drop my vehicle at Etisalat Station & pick metro to Union station & from union station to Business bay 6 days a week for 1 month up and down.
Could you advise me with the seasonal ticket and the cost
You just need to work out your daily cost checking number of zones from the map and then see if it is cheaper to get a weekly or monthly ticket. I am unable to do personal calculations as I don’t know all your circumstances.
