R32 Red Line Zone 2 Elevated

Independent transport guide · Source: RTA (rta.ae) · Unofficial guide — for live updates use the RTA S’hail app

Mall of the Emirates (R32) is a Red Line station in zone 2 with a pedestrian link into the mall. Its neighbouring stations are Equiti towards Centrepoint and InsuranceMarket.ae towards the southern branches.

Finding the right part of the mall

The station is not the entrance to every attraction inside the building. After following the mall link, use the mall directory for Ski Dubai, the cinema, your restaurant or your booked meeting point. Add that internal walk to the rail journey rather than treating arrival at the platform as arrival at an attraction.

Do not confuse the neighbouring stations

InsuranceMarket.ae is one stop towards Expo 2020/Life Pharmacy, not one stop towards the airport. Equiti is one stop in the Centrepoint direction. Old references to Sharaf DG or Mashreq on this stretch refer to the current InsuranceMarket.ae station, not the current Green Line Sharaf DG station.

Al Barsha and onward road journeys

If you are staying in Al Barsha, check the hotel’s entrance and pedestrian route. A district name does not guarantee that a mall-side exit is the shortest or most accessible option. For a beach or another destination beyond the Metro, use RTA’s bus planner or arrange a taxi for the last leg.

Returning after shopping

Check your train’s destination and the last departure for your travel date. Mall trading hours are not Metro operating hours. If your purchases exceed the Metro luggage limits, plan another way to carry them rather than blocking doors or passenger spaces.

Taxi & walking

Check your destination’s entrance before choosing an exit. Roads, restricted premises and the heat can make a short map distance unsuitable for walking. Follow local taxi signs or ask station staff for the designated pick-up point.
