Dubai Metro Map

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.

You can click on the map for a larger version and print it if required.

Dubai Metro Map 2024

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.

  1. i want to travel from Union metro to Al Quoz,Al Qeaiam Public Kitchen 2 bu station …what is the cost of monthly pass for that

    1. ‘all tourist places’ covers a very wide number of things! There are parking lots where you pay for parking and there are places like malls where some of it is free. You can use your nol card to pay for parking.

  2. I will be arriving at sharjah airport and wanted to travel by metro from sharjah to dubai aiport. What will be the fare by metro ?

  3. Hi,

    I would like to ask what is the last timing for the metro from Dubai Mall going to Expo station both Weekdays and weekend.
    Thank you.

  4. We are arriving at Port Rashid and have tickets for the museum of the future. What is the easiest way to get there plus what ticket is best for 2 days travel all zones.

    1. Hi, it is probably easiest to just get a taxi as there is not a metro station near the port. You can buy 2 one day tickets which will enable you to travel wherever you like.

  5. Is it possible to catch public transport from internet city to Abu Dhabi? If so, how much would this cost and what tickets would I need?

    1. The nearest metro stations are Stadium and Al Qiyadah but they are still a 30 minute walk. You could get a taxi from one of those. It also depends which terminal you arrive at – there are metro stations at terminals 1 and 3.

  6. Hi, I am travelling to Dubai in January, with a family of 5 members. 2 A and 3 kids (under 13). We will be mostly travelling between Zone 2 and Zone 6, which Nol cards would be our best option to use. We will be staying for 3 days only.

    1. If I have a season pass for two zones, can i travel through the all facilities like tram, metro or buses available in the 2 zone for free?

  7. I am looking to travel from Dubai Airport to Palm Jebel Ali. Can I get there by Metro and what would the cost be?

    1. Hi, you wold have to go as far as the end of the line at UAE Exchange and then find ongoing transport from there (e.g. taxi or bus).

  8. If I travel more than 3 zones also the metro price will be 7.50 dirhams only or it will go more than that

  9. hello, i am staying in dubai for 7 days and would like a metro card with which i can make unlimited trips through all zones. which one should i buy? thanks

  10. Hi,

    Can someone guide me on how I can reach Nad Al Hamar from Al quoz. Metro station details and the bus number please

  11. Hi,

    I need to connect to Al Ghubaiba from Al Rigga Station. Do I drop off at Union Metro Station and then join the Union train connect to Al Ghubaiba on the Green Line.

    Thanks.

    1. 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.

  12. 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.

    1. 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.

  13. 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

    1. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. Hello,

    I’m planning to visit Expo and some other sightseeing places in Dubai for a week.

    May I know which type of Nol cad suits me the best (Maybe a weekly ticket or something similar) and are there any particular discounts for students?

    Thank you!

  16. 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.

    1. 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)?

    2. 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 .

  17. I wonder if anyone can help. I will be travelling to Dubai and staying in the palm with my daughter 11 years old. We are staying for 5 days and plan to travel around Dubai via metro. What is the best option for us?

    1. Hi Vee, the metro does not go as far as the Palm so in order to connect with a metro station you will need to come off the palm and possibly take the tram to the metro station at the marina. If you are looking at ticket options then check out this page.

    1. 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?

      1. 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.

  18. Hi,
    I live in Abu Dhabi and would like to use the Dubai Metro to reach Deira City Center, which metro station will be suitable to park my car and use the metro everyday?

    Regards,
    Imran.

  19. 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

    1. 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.

  20. 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?

    1. 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.

  21. 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 !!!.

    1. Hi, thanks that was a copy and paste error when creating the new map, I have corrected it now, thanks for spotting that!

    2. Hi, I would like to travel from Cent point station to Expo2020 station with my family. Kindly suggest which tickets i have to purchase?

  22. 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.

    1. 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.

  23. 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

  24. 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.

    Thanks.

  25. 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

    1. 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.

  26. Hi,

    I have 14 hours of transit stay in Dubai and want to visit a few known places in Dubai, which travel card will suit me ???

    Regards
    Shaz

    1. Hi Shaz, a one day ticket will mean you can make as many trips as you like (as long as your visit does not span 2 days).

  27. I leave in hudheiba ,road 1 and i work in majlis al ghoreifa. I want to take monthly pass then how much i pay for this.

  28. Hello,
    Do you know if Sharaf DG station will be closed between 2nd January and 4th, 2019? We’re checking our a hotel nearby and we’ve read it’s closed today. However, we can’t find out why it’s closed.

    1. Hi Paula, we currently don’t have any information about Sharaf DG metro station being closed but will update the site if we do.

  29. I have a monthly pass for Zone 5 and would like to know, how the fare will be deducted if i cross zone five to another zone. Eg.., If i travel from zone five to DIFC, what will be the deduction? whether the fare being calculated for other than zone 5??

    1. 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.

  30. I want to move from Ibn battuta metro station to Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani, Dubai Campus. Please suggest the metro and bus route to reach the destination

  31. Hi,
    I will be staying at Zone 5, Al Rigga. If i want to go to Mall of Emirates which is in Zone 2, bypassing Zone 6…is that considered 3 Zones journey? or just 2 zones journey?

  32. 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

    1. 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.

  33. 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?

    1. 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.

  34. 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

  35. 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

    1. 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.
