Dubai Metro Map

The Dubai Metro is one of the easiest ways to travel around Dubai, especially if you want to visit popular attractions without spending too much on taxis. It connects major areas such as Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Deira and Dubai International Airport.

If you are visiting Dubai for the first time, understanding the Dubai Metro Map will help you choose the right train, find the nearest stations and avoid unnecessary transfers. This guide covers the Red and Green Lines, ticket prices, operating hours and useful travel tips for Filipino travellers.

❤️ Pro Tip: Book Dubai hotels near metro stations for easy access to popular attractions. Check flights from Manila to Dubai early for better fares, and get a UAE eSIM to check metro routes, find stations and navigate the city easily.

Dubai Metro Red Line

The Red Line is the most useful route for tourists because it connects Dubai International Airport with major shopping centres, hotels and attractions.

How to Read the Dubai Metro Map

The Dubai Metro Map is relatively simple because there are only two operating metro lines. The most important things to check are the line colour, station name and train destination.

Identify Your Metro Line

Find your starting station and destination on the map.

  • Red Line: Used for Dubai Airport, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina and Expo City Dubai.
  • Green Line: Used for Deira, Gold Souq, Bur Dubai and Dubai Creek.

Check the Train Direction

Before boarding, look at the destination displayed on the train or platform screen.

The Red Line has two branches towards Expo 2020 and Life Pharmacy. Make sure you board the correct train if your destination is beyond National Paints.

Find the Interchange Stations

If your journey requires both the Red and Green Lines, transfer at:

  • Union Metro Station
  • BurJuman Metro Station

You can change between these lines without leaving the paid metro area.

Check the Travel Zones

Dubai's public transport network is divided into seven fare zones. Your ticket price depends on how many zones you travel through, rather than the number of stations.

💡 Pro Tip: Download the RTA S'hail app before your trip. It can help you plan metro, tram and bus journeys, including connections between stations.

Dubai Metro Ticket Prices and Fares

Dubai Metro uses the nol card system. Passengers must have a valid nol card or ticket to enter and exit the station gates.

The fare depends on the number of zones travelled and the type of ticket or card used.

How to Buy Dubai Metro Tickets

How to Buy Dubai Metro Tickets

You can purchase nol cards and tickets at metro stations, including the stations at Dubai International Airport Terminals 1 and 3.

  • Select your ticket or top-up amount.
  • Complete the payment.

Let's start with the positives: The room decor was lovely, and the view from the window was great. The bedding was super comfortable, and the location is excellent, just about a 10-minute walk to the Burj Khalifa. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Now for the negatives: The shower pressure was a bit weak, and the handheld showerhead didn't have different spray settings. Also, disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste were not provided.

Business Bay Dubai|2.51km from city center
This hotel is perfect for both leisure and business travelers. It offers a rich variety of cuisine, including Chinese, Indian, and British options. The Arabian dishes are particularly good at satisfying a craving for Chinese food amidst the local flavors. The location is excellent, comparable to staying in Lujiazui, Shanghai. The entire staff is incredibly warm and attentive, providing exceptional service. Special mention goes to Jinto and a few others from the breakfast team who were efficient and perceptive. Staying at this hotel is truly a pleasure. The hotel also features an outdoor swimming pool with direct views of the Burj Khalifa. The high-floor rooms offer breathtaking panoramic views of the entire city of Dubai, extending to the sea, and you can even spot the Burj Al Arab. I highly recommend this hotel if you're visiting Dubai.

Our flight was changed during our layover in Dubai, causing us to arrive at 6 AM. Luckily, I had booked the early check-in option at SLS. VISPIN at the front desk, along with an Asian lady, kindly helped us arrange an even earlier check-in than planned so we could rest. Our connecting flight was also delayed by several hours, so it was a blessing that we chose this hotel. You can see the Dubai skyline from here (though the weather wasn't great the day we arrived, and there's a building under construction next door), but that doesn't detract from the advantage of being on a high floor. In the afternoon, we took advantage of the sunset to explore the city, and then went back for a bath 🛁 in the evening. All the fatigue from our layover melted away. It was a wonderful short stay, and next time I'd love to come back to Dubai for a proper visit! 👍🏻

The hotel location is convenient, right next to the metro station. The room was spacious and clean, though the duvet was a bit too thick, and a microwave would have been a nice addition. The staff provided good service. Perhaps because it's winter, there's currently no free shuttle service to Kite Beach. Rooms facing the road can be a bit noisy due to the major 10+ lane highway outside with constant traffic. Breakfast was simple and leaned towards Indian flavors. I booked two months in advance, so the value for money was quite good.

Deira Dubai|8.9km from city center
It was my first stay at this Hyatt Regency hotel and I enjoyed it. Although the room appeared clean overall, I was disappointed to discover a considerable build-up of dirt beneath the upper inner rim of the bathroom basin. It was rather unpleasant and surprising that such an obvious area had been overlooked by housekeeping. Another concern was the strange odour in the room, particularly in the bathroom. The smell was reminiscent of an industrial dip-cleaning product, which I found quite unpleasant. I found the shower area somewhat cramped, although this was a relatively minor inconvenience. On a very positive note, I would like to commend the reception team for their excellent service. In particular, the gentleman who assisted me with my check-in was exceptionally professional and welcomin. His hospitality made a wonderful first impression and certainly deserves recognition. Despite the concerns mentioned above, I continue to appreciate the Hyatt Regency and the overall experience it offers.

1. The hotel rooms are quite spacious, but the facilities are outdated. The showerhead in the bathroom was leaking; when I used the hand-held shower, cold water kept dripping from the overhead shower, which was very uncomfortable. 2. The hygiene was poor. Upon checking in, I surprisingly found a pile of insect carcasses in the bathtub and some unidentified hairs on the bed. After I reported it, the housekeeping staff promptly came to clean. For the rest of my stay, they paid special attention to cleaning the bathroom, and I didn't see any more insects. 3. The hotel breakfast was very disappointing, with almost no Asian food options. I had to fill up on bread. The variety of fruits was also limited. 4. The hotel is quite far from the commercial district, and there are no shopping or dining options nearby, which is inconvenient. The only upside is its proximity to the airport.

Excellent, huge suite with a cozy sofa and dining table in the living room. It also has a balcony, which is quite rare in Dubai, and a very good, draft-free air conditioner. There are quite a few Russian-speaking staff at the reception (though not on every shift); it doesn't matter to me with my English, but it's definitely important for some. Of course, there are some downsides – a sagging door that doesn't close on its own (but that's partly a plus as it helps with forgotten cards in the room). In an apartment-style setup like this, it would be logical to have something to heat food – at least a simple microwave and a sink in the kitchenette. Oh, and besides the shower cabin (for a quick shower), there's also a full bathtub (to relax after a long day). That's a super combination. Overall, I'll keep this place in mind for the future. The price, with Tripcoins, was an absolute steal, but even without them, it's still very good.

The rooms have a large fridge with a freezer in the kitchen; ours wasn't working, and they immediately brought a new one. There's an Indian restaurant and a club on the upper floors of the hotel. The breakfast in the restaurant is decent, you won't go hungry, and the staff is helpful. Outdoor parking is available. They don't provide transportation to the beach.

When he told the man at the desk he had a booking, the man spoke to him in a terrible, rude manner. He said, ”So, you showed up without an ID? A hotel requires an ID—surely you know that. Why did you even come if you didn't bring one?” Is that any way to speak to a customer? My fiancé had traveled all the way from Fujairah just to check in; he was extremely upset and didn't appreciate being treated that way.

We were given Room 2702, which was comfortable and well maintained throughout our stay. Housekeeping did a good job, and we really could not find any faults with the hotel in terms of the room or cleanliness. The service throughout the hotel was excellent. A special mention goes to Claire who was incredibly friendly and warm. She always made an effort to have a conversation with us, which added a lovely personal touch to our stay. We would also like to thank Chef Amr from the restaurant, as well as Mustafa and Santosh from the concierge team, for their excellent service. They were all friendly, helpful and attentive throughout our stay. Since we are regular guests, it was always nice that many of the staff recognise us and make us feel welcome. This personal touch is one of the reasons we continue to return to Sofitel Dubai Downtown. The friendly service, familiar faces and warm hospitality continue to make Sofitel Dubai Downtown one of our preferred hotels whenever we visit Dubai. One point that can be improved is the valet parking. Service was quite slow but this is understandable as they mentioned that they have limited staffs.

The hotel has a unique design and vibrant rooms, predominantly in bright yellow, gray, and white.

The hotel's restaurant is on the ground floor, while the gym and pool are on the 6th floor – a bit odd. Also, you have to tap your card in the elevator every time you go from the ground floor to your room floor, and from the 6th floor to floors 1-5.

Deira Dubai|12.64km from city center
Was very disappointed with the state of the room for such a good brand hotel. I didn’t bother reading any reviews. I just booked it because it was a known brand. unfortunately on arrival the room was in a state. It was very dusty and dirty very dated and just not nice at all. The room was not cheap costing nearly $170 plus so I expected a cleaner room it was 1 o’clock in the morning when I arrived and I was just so tired that I didn’t want to kick up a fuss so I just stayed the night and left in the morning had it been during the day I would’ve insisted on a refund and changed hotels. This is my true experience with this hotel on may not reflect the same for other travellers.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were extremely welcoming and attentive, especially Hamad and the manager, Haitham, who kindly upgraded our room and made our stay even more special. From the first impression to the very last moment, everything was perfect. I visited with my children, and they enjoyed every minute of it. The hotel offers fantastic family-friendly activities, including mini golf, horse riding, and a great selection of water activities. The beach was absolutely beautiful and well maintained. The breakfast was also excellent, with a wide variety of delicious options to suit everyone. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and we would definitely love to come back again. Highly recommended for families looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway.

The check-in experience was very pleasant and quick. Enor and Harsh were friendly and professional. We were given a high floor as requested and upgraded to a double bed without being asked. The room had a good view of the city and had everything one needs and expects from a hotel when on holiday. Breakfast had a huge spread. More asian and salad options would be great. There were some healthy choices, skimmed milk and Indian masala tea too. The hotel looks good from the outside with 26 floors, a clean swimming pool, a gym and an elevator that gives you a view through glass. It had an event for NYE too. We saw a lot of people partaking in it. It is an easy walk to Dubai Mall and the Burj. There are 2 convenience stores nearby, a cafe inside and easy to get taxis (Bolt, Careem, Uber). Jabed who cleaned our room well was cordial and professional and checked on our needs. Overall, we had a great stay, better than expected after reading older reviews. The staff that work here are friendly and want to help, including the breakfast staff. I left some minor written suggestions with the lady at the desk when we checked out at noon on Thursday. I love the Millennium brand hotels and Millennium Central Downtown can go from great to extraordinary! I would definitely recommend it to friends and family. Veronica

The hotel's location is great, right in Dubai's new city center, with excellent amenities nearby and not far from the metro station. Upon arrival, they proactively helped with luggage, and check-in was smooth. All the hotel staff were very polite. The restaurant has a nice ambiance and a good variety of food. The rooms are spacious and bright. The only thing was that the balcony door was locked, which they said was for safety reasons. I later asked the front desk to unlock it for me, but I had to sign an agreement. Overall, I'm satisfied. The only regret is that this trip to the UAE coincided with the conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran, and neighboring countries were all somewhat affected. I hope peace returns to the Middle East soon.

World Trade Centre DIFC Dubai|0.69km from city center
I thoroughly enjoyed my 8-night stay at this lovely hotel.The housekeeping, front desk, concierge and restaurant staff are very professional and responsive, kudos to them. Room is very new and clean, big enough for a family of 4 to 5. Breakfast is simple and lack varieties, during my 8 nights they served the same food everyday, and mostly veggies options. Coffee is good though. My only comment is the lift waiting time. It needs an upgrade to cope with high occupancy rate. And the outside windows from the room, it needs to be cleaned. Its all covered with dust that I couldn't see clearly the outside view from my windows. Location is very convenient. Less than 2-min walking to the metro station. 1 stop to Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa. Carrefour is about 10-min walk, and there is a very nice restaurant called Sansation DIFC, about 10-min walk from the hotel that serves very good Mediterranean food at a reasonable price.

Very good hotel and cleanness is 💯 clean. Room is big. Location is walking distance. Near to metro (take Exit 2) to reach the hotel.plus point is small gate to get in without walking big round to get the hotel (need the room card to access). Staff all are very helpful and kind. Really appreciate the early check in especially we reached early and very much needed the rest before start exploring the country. Nearby got lots of small market which sell reasonable souvenirs (chocolate, dates and local food). There is this Pakistan eatery sell goods and nice Prata and curry. My husband and I really enjoy the foods and price is clearly state on the menu, portions also big. Almost went there to have the foods during our stay. 😄😄😄. Oh~ they also have free shuttle bus to several tourist locations which is plus point as well. Too bad we dont have time to explore this. Swimming pool with city view and they also have steam & sauna room. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻overall I really enjoy my stay here.

The hotel is clean and the staff are wonderful. You'll need to use taxis for sightseeing.

Aside from that, it's a fantastic hotel.

The staff is incredibly pleasant and customer-oriented! We arrived at 9 AM and were immediately checked into a wonderful room, for which we are especially grateful! This was a transit stay through Dubai, with a night flight, so we checked out at 1 AM. The reception offered us breakfast to go and even suggested letting us check in for a short period without a deposit. The room had a beautiful view of the fountains and was perfectly equipped with everything. Ideal value for money! I will recommend it to friends, and we will definitely return ourselves!

The hotel is quite old and definitely needs some renovation. Unfortunately, the swimming pool was under maintenance during our stay, so we didn’t get the chance to swim or enjoy the beautiful city view, which was one of the reasons we chose this hotel. The bathroom also needs improvement the shower knob was broken and didn’t work properly, making it inconvenient to use. On the positive side, the hotel staff upgraded our room from a Deluxe Room to a Suite, which we really appreciated. The food was also a highlight of our stay, with a great variety of delicious dishes to choose from. While we were grateful for the room upgrade and enjoyed the dining experience, the hotel’s aging facilities and maintenance issues affected our overall experience.

Our room offered undisturbed views of the Burj Khalifa which is such a spectacle everytime you look out.

I had a great stay overall and would come back again after the renovations are completed. The staff were very friendly and always greeted me, which made me feel really welcome. Housekeeping did an excellent job every day — fresh towels and a nicely made bed. I also appreciated being allowed to check in early (with a charge), which was very helpful since I arrived early. The location is super convenient, close to the MRT and directly connected to a mall. A couple of small issues: the room was a bit dusty at first, and I wasn’t informed about the ongoing renovations. The drilling noise was quite disruptive when I was trying to rest. Overall still a very pleasant stay!

Nice view. Good location. Not as jam as other cbd area. Hotel is nice, clean and fairly new. Stay for 2 nights. First mrng we stayed there. The house keeping woke us up at 8am to ask for house keeping. We forgot to turn on do not disturb. My biggest mistake. But we stay in so many diff hotels before. No house keeping ever knock the door that earlier. Given that we checked in aft 11pm the night before. Also no refill for toilet amenities at all. They throw away my shower hat and not refill anything inside bathroom that I hv been used. It just too late to order them fr house keeping since I already took off all clothes and start shower. I drank up the coffee supply and no refill for capsule for the second day. Not satisfied with the price I paid for this hotel. It should be better experience than this. House keeping ppl need to be trained up to make the basic standards

The front desk staff were very friendly, and the stay was comfortable. However, on the first night, I noticed there was almost no hand soap or shower gel, and it wasn't refilled on the second day. I went for a spa treatment, trying a Swedish massage for the first time – no complaints there, but it was really quite expensive compared to the room rate, haha. If you need a taxi at the entrance, the hotel has its own drivers who are very polite, but the prices are a bit steep, much more expensive than the taxis I took previously in Sharjah/Dubai. You might want to consider your options.

Bur Dubai Dubai|6.26km from city center
I had a very pleasant three-night stay at Hyatt Regency Dubai Creek Heights. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and very comfortable. We initially stayed in a room overlooking Dubai Creek, and the view was beautiful. The hotel itself is quiet and relaxing, and we genuinely had a great night’s sleep. The reception team were welcoming, friendly, and professional. I would especially like to thank Khadija at the front desk, who was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. After our first night, the hotel contacted us and explained that they needed to vacate our floor due to an operational matter. They handled the situation professionally by upgrading us to a much larger room at no additional cost. The new room was significantly more spacious, although it overlooked the city rather than the creek. There was some noise from pool maintenance work on Saturday morning, but the hotel was quiet again on Sunday. We appreciated the upgrade and the way the team handled the room change. One of the things that impressed me most was the speed of the service. Every request we made was handled very quickly, making this one of the fastest hotels I have experienced in terms of guest service and responsiveness. The lobby is elegant, the location is convenient, and the overall atmosphere is peaceful and comfortable. Valet parking was not available during our stay, and a few of the hotel’s restaurants were also closed. Overall, we had a very good experience and would definitely stay here again. The Hyatt group has always been reliable in my experience. I have stayed at several Hyatt properties both inside and outside the UAE, and they have consistently maintained a very good standard.

Dubai Metro Travel Tips for Filipino Travellers

The Dubai Metro is generally easy to use, but knowing a few rules can make your journey more comfortable.

Before Boarding

  • Download the metro map: Save a copy on your phone so you can check stations without internet access.
  • Check your route: Look at the train destination, especially when travelling on the Red Line.
  • Avoid busy periods: Trains can become crowded during weekday commuting hours.
  • Prepare your nol card: Have your card ready before reaching the entry gate.
  • Check your station exit: Some stations have several exits leading to different streets and buildings.

During Your Journey

  • Use the correct cabin: Dubai Metro has Standard Class, Gold Class and designated Women & Children sections.
  • Follow luggage rules: RTA allows one large suitcase and one small suitcase per passenger, subject to size restrictions.
  • Avoid eating and drinking: Food and drinks are not allowed in designated restricted areas, including train cabins.
  • Keep your ticket: You must tap out using the same nol card you used to enter.
  • Follow station signs: English and Arabic signs help passengers find platforms, transfers and exits.
