Dubai Metro Trains is an independent guide to the Dubai Metro: operating hours, the network map, fares and Nol cards, station information, and official announcements about the Blue and Gold lines.
Why this site exists
Planning a metro journey involves more than finding a station name. You may need to choose a Nol product, allow time for an interchange, distinguish a station from the attraction it serves, or make sense of directions written before a station was renamed. This site brings those decisions together with station-to-station route and fare tools.
How to use this guide
- Plan the rail journey. Use the route guides to compare the stops and interchanges between two stations, then check the fare for your card type.
- Check the journey beyond the platform. Airport and destination guides explain where a metro journey ends and an onward connection or walk may still be needed.
- Recognise renamed stations. Station pages include former names where documented, so older directions can be matched to the network.
- Understand the limits. Tool results are computed from our maintained network and fare data. They are not live train tracking, an RTA fare quotation or a guarantee of a departure time. Allow separately for queues, waiting, walking and disruptions.
- Go to the operator for time-sensitive information. Before a flight connection or late-night journey, confirm departures and service changes with the RTA through rta.ae, the S’hail app or station staff.
Sources and corrections
RTA information is the primary source for operating rules, fares and the current network; Dubai Media Office announcements support coverage of future projects. Our shared datasets help keep tools consistent, but written guides, graphics and external services can change independently. A source or review date is a record of that item, not a claim that every detail is checked continuously.
Our editorial policy explains sourcing, estimates, AI-assisted production and corrections. Please report an error with the affected page and supporting evidence. We cannot guarantee an individual response or correction deadline.
How the site is funded
The site may use clearly identified display advertising to help cover research, hosting and maintenance costs. Advertising does not determine our topics, sources, route guidance or corrections. We do not sell paid placement inside editorial content. See the privacy policy for the current advertising status and data practices.

Dubai Metro Trains Editorial Team is the organizational publishing byline used on this site.

AI-assisted tools are used in drafting and production, including some illustrations. Illustrations are not evidence of current station appearance or facilities. Published guidance should be assessed against its linked sources and stated limitations, not treated as an official RTA statement.
