Dubai Metro Map: Routes, Stations, Ticket Prices & Travel Guide
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.
Dubai Metro Map Overview
You can also check the official Dubai Metro and Tram map from Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).

Red Line | Centrepoint ↔ Expo 2020 / Life Pharmacy | Dubai Airport, Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Mall of the Emirates |
Green Line | e& ↔ Creek | Deira, Gold Souq, Bur Dubai, Dubai Healthcare City |

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.
Dubai Metro Fare Table

|---|---|---|---|
Within 1 zone | AED 3 | AED 6 | AED 4 |
Across 2 adjacent zones | AED 5 | AED 10 | AED 6 |
More than 2 zones | AED 7.50 | AED 15 | AED 8.50 |
Fares are in UAE dirhams (AED). Gold Class prices shown are for the Gold nol Card. Red Ticket Gold Class fares are different.

World Trade Centre DIFC Dubai|0.73km from city center
I have stayed at this hotel for the past five years, but after this experience, I will never return. The main reason is the behaviour of Pupa, the manager. Her rudeness and appalling way of speaking to guests during check-in were completely unacceptable. It was the worst hotel experience I have ever had in Dubai. The room also had terrible air conditioning, fixed at 22°C and constantly switching off during the night, making it impossible to sleep. Staying at this hotel can easily ruin your holiday.From€104

I used to have a good impression of this hotel, so I chose it again for a business trip to Delhi.

The advantage is that it's located inside a mall, making it very convenient to go for Chinese food.From€55

Business Bay Dubai|2.96km from city center
This hotel has all the resources to be five-star, but something is fundamentally wrong with the way it is being managed.
First of all, the positives: the location is good, the pool is a decent size and the gym is genuinely really good. Breakfast was 10/10. The cleaners, concierge and restaurant staff at breakfast were also lovely. Unfortunately, that’s where the five-star experience stopped for us.
When we checked in, we were taken to a room that smelt strongly of mould. I actually have a poor sense of smell, so for me to notice it suggests this was not a minor issue. We were moved to another room without much fuss, which was fine.
However, the second room was a double when we had specifically booked a twin. I explained that I currently have a bad back and am struggling to sleep, which is why having separate beds mattered. We were then offered either to have the bed split or move to an upgraded room—which was also a double. This was the point I started getting irritated because I had literally just explained why another double room did not solve the problem.
We were tired, so agreed to have the bed split while we were out. They did this, but the resulting twin beds were extremely small and the pillows weren’t particularly comfortable either. The TV/streaming system felt dated and worked poorly, and the internet was slow.
Then my niece dropped an earring. While looking for it, we noticed some of the lights weren’t working, so I used the torch on my phone. The amount of dust I could suddenly see around the room was honestly embarrassing for a hotel positioning itself as five-star. I’m really not an especially fussy guest—I just expect a clean, tidy and comfortable room, particularly at this level.
By this stage, we asked Paramount if they would cancel the remainder of our four-night booking so we could move elsewhere. They flat-out refused and simply continued offering room changes. After already unpacking, repacking and moving once, I was fed up and told them to leave it.
I then suggested that, as a gesture of goodwill, they could include breakfast for the remainder of our stay. I was told they couldn’t because they would “lose money”. Instead, I was offered around 10–20% off food or a spa treatment. Considering their restaurants are available on The Entertainer with buy-one-get-one-free offers, this hardly felt like meaningful compensation for what had happened.
What bothered me most was the attitude towards resolving problems. Management seemed dismissive and, during one conversation, a manager repeatedly spoke over me while I was trying to explain the situation. It was simply rude.
The same attitude appeared elsewhere. We went for shisha when there was a ladies’ special advertised. We were told the flavours included in the offer were unavailable, so I asked what they could substitute instead. The answer was simply: nothing.
Another example: we were initially told the gym was open until 10pm with a member of staff present. On our final night, another staff member casually informed me that guests could actually use it 24 hours a day—we just needed to call reception for access. Great information to receive on the last night of a four-night stay.
And I think that sums this hotel up. When something isn’t available, something goes wrong, or a guest has a problem, there seems to be very little instinct to ask, “What can we do to make this better?” Instead, the response is often just “no”, or an option that doesn’t actually solve the issue.
It feels like the hotel is sailing along waiting for some magic event to turn it into the five-star property it could absolutely be, rather than addressing the basics.
The facilities are there. The location is there. Some excellent staff are there. But customer service, communication, cleanliness standards and service recovery need a huge overhaul before I could consider this a genuine five-star Dubai hotel.From€93

Business Bay Dubai|2.51km from city center
Seriously, I wouldn't recommend visiting Dubai in July. We were just here for a 4-night layover. It's over 40 degrees Celsius during the day, so going out is impossible, and even at night, it's still 38 degrees. My phone even gave a high-temperature warning when I tried to take a picture of the Burj Khalifa. To make matters worse, perhaps because it's off-season, the Marriott no longer provides a shuttle bus to Dubai Mall. We had to take a taxi every time we went out, which was quite uneconomical.
The hotel breakfast looked like it had a lot of variety, but for our Chinese palates, only the pho was edible; everything else was quite mediocre. The room's bathroom is very large, but I'm not sure why the toilet cubicle doesn't have a glass door... and there were very few electrical outlets.From€173

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! 👍🏻From€175

Check in was smooth and was attended by Rash. She was courteous and helpful in getting the room. Was given a room on a higher floor facing partial Dubai frame. The soap etc is very poor quality and bed sheets not white, something not expected of such hotel.
Bikash at concierge was rude and I feel need training on customer relations. Gave him the card and instead of handing back, he just placed on the table. Valet parking was also slow and disorganised. Imagine waiting 30 mins just for them to pick up the car. I don't see this in Sofitel Downtown or the JW Marriot.

Deira Dubai|9.45km from city center
We booked this hotel six months ago and paid full price. Since then, room rates have dropped significantly. Due to the current political uncertainty in the region
While the Ramada Plaza Dubai Deira has a good location near the metro, the breakfast experience did not reflect a 4-star hotel standard.
To be fair, the staff and personnel at the hotel were very polite and professional, and the food itself was actually not bad. This is clearly a matter of upper management decisions choosing to keep the beverage budget low.
The Hotel only provides cheap instant coffee at the breakfast buffet. To make matters worse, the drink quality at the breakfast was incredibly poor; not only the coffee served at the buffet was just instant coffee, also the juice provided was clearly a cheap powder mixed with far too much water.
Cutting corners on basic items like coffee and juice at a paid buffet completely ruins the guest experience. While the staff does a great job and the food is fine, upper management needs to invest in proper coffee and real juice.From€37

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.From€56

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 lobby (pictured above) sets a welcoming and modern tone with its stylish seating areas, elegant wood paneling, and comfortable lounge vibe — perfect for relaxing with a coffee or planning the day together.
Our room was clean, spacious, and comfortable for two, featuring a cozy king bed with quality linens, good air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. We especially appreciated the thoughtful touches and the peaceful atmosphere after busy days out.
The outdoor pool and spa facilities were highlights for us as a couple — a great way to unwind and recharge together. We also tried the on-site Meter Kebab restaurant and found the food tasty and convenient. The staff was consistently friendly and helpful, making our stay smooth from check-in to check-out.
Overall, the Best Western Plus Pearl Creek offers excellent value, a prime location, and solid amenities for a romantic or relaxed Dubai trip. We’d happily return for another couple’s getaway!From€43

The location is right next to Ibn Battuta Mall, with direct indoor access to the shopping center without having to go outside.

Overall it was a pleasant stay but please take note of a few observations:
1- Although I booked halfboard, I was informed upon checking in there is a consumption cap of 115 dhs per meal and I will be charged separately for water & beverages!
2- Room service is slow and I had to call twice for the same request at times.
3- The air conditioning of the lobby and the premier lounge is insufficient during daytime.
4- The beach closes at 18:00 while the sunset is past 19:00
On a positive note, I would like to thank Nancy at Priority check-in for being super hospitable & accommodating.From€166

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.From€45

Sheikh Zayed / DIFC Dubai|1.63km from city center
I’m actually impressed with the location. I thought we would have to walk a lot to get to the hotel, but it’s actually very near Emirates Towers Metro Station.
The only thing I didn’t like was that the main door near the metro entrance was closed, so we were forced to walk around the side. I understood it when we first checked in, but when checking out, I got a bit frustrated because I had a lot of items to carry to the metro, and having to walk from the back made it difficult.
I feel like the main door could be opened, at least during check-out times. Other than that, everything was really good for what I paid. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Overall, I had a great experience.From€77

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.From€70

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.
