Dubai Metro Station Map – All 55 Stations on Red & Green Lines
Complete Dubai Metro station map guide — all 55 stations listed by line with nearby landmarks, interchange points, tram and bus connections, and practical tips for navigating Dubai's metro network using your NOL card.
Dubai Metro Network – How the Two Lines Work Together
Dubai Metro's two-line system is designed so that the Red Line handles the city's primary east–west spine — connecting the airport, old Deira, Downtown, Sheikh Zayed Road corridor, and the Marina/JLT zone. The Green Line forms a tighter loop through the older city districts — Deira's residential areas, Gold Souk, Al Rigga, Bur Dubai, and the healthcare and cultural zones toward Al Jadaf and Etisalat/Al Qusais.
For most tourists and residents, the Red Line covers the majority of Dubai's key destinations. The Green Line becomes essential for reaching Gold Souk, Al Fahidi (without a Red Line walk), Dubai Frame, Dubai Healthcare City, and the residential northern Deira communities. Knowing which line serves your destination — and which interchange to use — is the most practical use of the Dubai Metro station map.
Dubai Metro Green Line – All 20 Stations
The Green Line runs in a roughly U-shape from Creek in the south, looping through Deira and back down through Bur Dubai to Al Jadaf, with a northern extension toward Al Qusais. It was designed to serve communities underserved by the Red Line — particularly older Deira and the cultural belt around Dubai Creek.

Interchange Stations – Union & BurJuman Explained
Both interchange stations allow free cross-platform transfers between Red and Green lines — your single fare covers the full journey regardless of which lines you use. The practical difference between the two interchanges matters for where you're heading on the Green Line:
🔄 Union (R7 / G17)
Best transfer point for northern Green Line stations — Baniyas Square, Al Ras (Gold Souk), Salah Al Din, Al Nahda, Al Qusais. Also the larger, more central of the two interchanges with more exits and bus connections.
🔄 BurJuman (R8 / G6)
Best transfer for southern Green Line stations — Al Karama, Oud Metha, Dubai Healthcare City, Al Jadaf, Creek (Dubai Frame). Direct mall connection above station.
Metro Connections to Dubai Tram & Bus Network
Several Red Line stations connect to the Dubai Tram and major RTA bus hubs — extending the metro's reach into areas not directly served by rail. These connections are all covered by the same NOL card and the monthly pass (where applicable).
