Dubai Metro map: operating lines and official PDF
Use this schematic to choose stations and transfers on the operating Red and Green lines. Tap a station for its code, zone and journey information. This is a route diagram, not a walking map.
Open RTA network PDF Use the interactive map
The PDF is published and maintained by RTA; check its printed revision date. During the September–November 2026 naming rollout, older maps and signs may still say ONPASSIVE. The station is now Garmin (R29); its location has not changed. Garmin station guide.
Operating network
Red and green show the lines in service. A double ring marks Union or BurJuman, where you can change lines inside the paid area. Use the fare-zone toggle for zone labels. Future Blue and Gold lines are deliberately excluded from this journey map.
Choose the right train and transfer
- Red Line branches: check the destination display. Trains towards Expo 2020 and Life Pharmacy share the main corridor, then separate at National Paints. Travelling between those branches needs a change there.
- Red–Green changes: follow the signs at Union or BurJuman without tapping out. Allow walking and waiting time; the diagram does not show the layout of platforms.
- Dubai Airport: Terminal 1 and Terminal 3 have Red Line stations. Terminal 2 does not. flydubai identifies Abu Hail as the nearest Metro access for Terminal 2, about 2 km away by taxi. Do not assume an airport-to-station pedestrian route. Terminal 2 options.
- Marina and JBR: Metro and Tram are separate services. Metro–Tram connections are at Sobha Realty and DMCC; budget for the transfer rather than treating the beach as a Metro stop.
Why do you see 53, 55 and 67 stations?
The operating lines have 35 Red Line entries and 20 Green Line entries: 55 in total. Union and BurJuman appear on both lines, so that represents 53 distinct operating stations. The future 67-station network includes the Blue Line. It is not a different way of counting the current Route 2020 branch.
Future lines are not open yet
Blue Line passenger service is planned for 9 September 2029; Gold Line for 9 September 2032. These are project targets, not available routes. Consult the separate project pages for dated milestones and confirmed details. Blue Line · Gold Line.
Turn the map into a journey
First identify the exact destination entrance, then the station, train direction and any change. Use the fare calculator for the station pair. Finally check RTA’s departure information for your date and allow for walking and queues. The network closing hour is not the last train at every station.

Correction, 26 September 2026: removed unsupported future-station plotting and the incorrect explanation of the 67-station total. The RTA PDF replaces our older downloadable diagram.
