Quick Overview: Dubai Metro operates 55 stations across two lines — the Red Line (35 stations) running east–west from Rashidiya to UAE Exchange along Sheikh Zayed Road, and the Green Line (20 stations) forming a loop through Deira and Bur Dubai. The two lines connect at Union and BurJuman — free transfers at both. All stations require a NOL card or Red Ticket to enter. All stations are above ground except the airport stations and some central Deira stations which run underground.

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.

Nearest Metro Station to Dubai's Top Landmarks

This is the most practical use of the Dubai Metro station map — matching your destination to the correct station. Walking distances are approximate from the station exit — many Dubai landmarks require a short taxi or bus ride from the nearest metro station due to the city's scale.

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.

Common mistake to avoid: Do not exit through fare gates at interchange stations when transferring between lines. Exiting and re-entering triggers a new fare charge. Walk between platforms while remaining inside the paid zone.

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).

Metro Station Connection Serves
Dubai Marina (R27) Dubai Tram JBR, Palm Gateway, Media City, Knowledge Village
DMCC (R26) Dubai Tram (walking distance) JLT clusters, Marina Walk
Union (R7/G17) Major RTA bus hub Deira, Sharjah routes, Ajman
Al Ghubaiba (R11) RTA bus hub + Water Bus Old Dubai routes, Abra connection

Frequently Asked Questions — Dubai Metro Station Map

How many metro stations are in Dubai?
Dubai Metro has 55 operational stations — 35 on the Red Line and 20 on the Green Line. Union and BurJuman are shared interchange stations counted on both lines. All stations are served by RTA's fully automated driverless trains and require a valid NOL card or Red Ticket for entry.
Which metro station is closest to the Gold Souk in Dubai?
Al Ras (G20) and Baniyas Square (G18) on the Green Line are both within 5 minutes walk of the Gold Souk. Al Ras is slightly closer to the Spice Souk entrance; Baniyas Square is better positioned for the main Gold Souk shopping strip on Sikkat Al Khail Road.
Does Dubai Metro go to Palm Jumeirah?
The metro does not go onto Palm Jumeirah itself. The closest Red Line station is Nakheel Harbour & Tower (R25). From there, taxis serve the Palm directly. The Palm Monorail (separate fare system, not covered by NOL monthly pass) connects from the gateway at the trunk of the Palm.
What is the difference between Union and BurJuman for transfers?
Both are free Red-to-Green interchange stations. Use Union for northern Green Line destinations (Gold Souk, Al Ras, Al Qusais, Al Nahda). Use BurJuman for southern Green Line destinations (Al Karama, Oud Metha, Dubai Healthcare City, Creek/Dubai Frame). Both transfers are within the paid fare zone — do not exit gates.
Can I use one NOL card tap for a journey using both Red and Green lines?
Yes. A single tap-in and tap-out covers your entire journey even if it crosses both lines via an interchange. The system calculates the total zones crossed from origin to final destination and deducts a single fare. You do not need to tap again when transferring at Union or BurJuman.
