The network has 53 distinct stations: 35 on the Red Line and 20 on the Green Line, with Union and BurJuman shared by both lines. Zones, fares and times on this page were checked against the official RTA rail network map, September 2026 revision, published 2026.09.25.

How to read the Dubai Metro map
The Dubai Metro map shows two operating lines, the Red Line and the Green Line, crossing at Union and BurJuman, with each station coloured by one of four fare zones used by the Metro: Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 5 and Zone 6. Read the map in this order: find your line, find your station, note its zone, then check if you need to change lines.
- Red Line: runs from Centrepoint to Life Pharmacy, with a branch from National Paints to Expo 2020 (Route 2020).
- Green Line: runs from e& to Creek, through Deira and Bur Dubai.
- Change lines only at Union (Zone 5) or BurJuman (Zone 6). These are the only two stations served by both lines.
- Zones decide your fare. The creek is the boundary between Zone 5 on the Deira side and Zone 6 on the Bur Dubai side, so a trip from Union to BurJuman crosses a zone even though it is one stop.
- Check the destination board on the Red Line. At National Paints the line splits: some trains go to Life Pharmacy and some go to Expo 2020.
- Tram links: Sobha Realty and DMCC connect the Red Line to the Dubai Tram, and all Tram stops sit in Zone 2.
Red Line stations (with zones)
The Red Line has 35 stations, from Centrepoint to Life Pharmacy on the main line and from National Paints to Expo 2020 on the Route 2020 branch, and every station below lists its verified fare zone except Danube and Jumeirah Golf Estates, which sit on zone boundaries. Station names and zones follow the September 2026 RTA map, which uses the current names Garmin and Life Pharmacy.

For trips starting or ending at either station, check the fare in the RTA app or at the gate, and use the Fare Calculator with care.

Blue Line coming in 2029
The Blue Line is not open yet. It will have 14 stations and it is due to open on 9 September 2029. Do not plan a trip on the Blue Line until RTA confirms it is running.
The Blue Line will add a third line to the map when it opens, but it is not part of the network you can ride today. This page will be updated when RTA confirms the opening, the stations and the fares. Until then, plan every trip on the Red Line or the Green Line, and check RTA for the latest Blue Line news.
First and last train times
Dubai Metro trains start at 5:00 am from Monday to Saturday and at 8:00 am on Sunday, and service ends at midnight except on Friday, when it ends at 1:00 am the next day. The same hours apply to the Red Line and the Green Line. Hours change on public holidays and for special events, so check RTA before a holiday trip.
Do not confuse closing time with the last train. Last trains leave their terminus well before service ends, so aim to be at your station early on a late night trip.
| Day | First train | Service ends |
|---|---|---|
| Monday to Thursday | 5:00 am | Midnight |
| Friday | 5:00 am | 1:00 am (next day) |
| Saturday | 5:00 am | Midnight |
| Sunday | 8:00 am | Midnight |
Last trains from each terminus, Monday to Thursday and Saturday:
| Terminus | Last train |
|---|---|
| Centrepoint (Red Line) | 10:46 pm towards Expo 2020; 10:50 pm towards Life Pharmacy |
| Expo 2020 (Red Line) | 10:44 pm towards Centrepoint |
| Life Pharmacy (Red Line) | 10:52 pm towards Centrepoint |
| e& (Green Line) | 11:23 pm towards Creek |
| Creek (Green Line) | 11:25 pm towards e& |
On Friday, add about one hour to the last train times above. On Sunday, last trains are within a few minutes of the weekday times. For full detail, see Dubai Metro Timings.
How fares relate to zones
Dubai Metro fares are charged by the number of zones you cross, not by distance or stops, and a Silver card trip costs AED 3 within one zone, AED 5 across two adjacent zones, and AED 7.50 across more than two zones. Find your start and end zones in the tables above, count the zones crossed, then read your fare below.
| Zones crossed | Silver / Blue personal | Gold | Red Ticket (Regular) | Red Ticket (Gold) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Within 1 zone | AED 3 | AED 6 | AED 4 | AED 8 |
| 2 adjacent zones | AED 5 | AED 10 | AED 6 | AED 12 |
| More than 2 zones | AED 7.50 | AED 15 | AED 8.50 | AED 17 |
Children aged 5 and under travel free. You need a minimum balance of AED 7.50 on a Silver or Gold card, and AED 3.50 on a Blue card, or the metro gates will not open. A journey lasts up to 180 minutes with up to 3 transfers, and a transfer between metro and bus within 30 minutes counts as one journey charged on the total zones crossed. Work out your exact trip cost in the Fare Calculator, and see passes and full fare detail in the Fares hub.
How to use the map to plan a trip
To plan a trip, find your start and end stations in the tables above, note their zones, check whether you change at Union or BurJuman, and work out the fare in the Fare Calculator before you travel.
- Find your stations. Look up your start station and your end station in the Red Line or Green Line table above.
- Note the zones. Write down the zone for each station, then count how many zones your trip crosses.
- Check the change. If you cross between lines, change at Union or BurJuman, the only two interchange stations.
- Check the times. Confirm the first train if you travel early, and the last train from your terminus if you travel late.
- Check the fare. Use the Fare Calculator for your trip cost, and the Fares hub for passes and ticket types.
Frequently asked questions
How many stations are on the Dubai Metro map?
The Dubai Metro has 53 distinct stations, 35 on the Red Line and 20 on the Green Line, with Union and BurJuman shared by both lines. That is why the two line totals add to more than the distinct total: the two interchange stations are counted once each in the distinct total.
Which zone is my station in?
Find your station in the Red Line or Green Line table above: metro stations sit in Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 5 or Zone 6, except Danube and Jumeirah Golf Estates, whose zone is to confirm because they sit on zone boundaries. For a trip starting or ending at either boundary station, check the fare in the RTA app or at the gate.
What time is the first and last Dubai Metro train?
First trains leave at 5:00 am from Monday to Saturday and at 8:00 am on Sunday, and last trains leave the termini between 10:44 pm and 11:25 pm on Monday to Thursday and Saturday, with about one hour later on Friday. Service ends at midnight, except on Friday, when it ends at 1:00 am the next day. See Dubai Metro Timings for more detail.
Where can I download the official Dubai Metro map?
Download the official RTA rail network map PDF at https://www.rta.ae/links/rail/rail-network-map.pdf, the September 2026 revision published on 2026.09.25. Every station name and zone on this page follows that map.
Is the Blue Line open yet?
No, the Blue Line is not open yet, it will have 14 stations and it is due to open on 9 September 2029. Plan every trip on the Red Line or the Green Line until RTA confirms the Blue Line is running.
Where do I change between the Red Line and the Green Line?
Change between the Red Line and the Green Line at Union, in Zone 5, or at BurJuman, in Zone 6, the only two stations served by both lines. Note that a trip from Union to BurJuman crosses from Zone 5 to Zone 6, so it counts as a two zone trip even though it is one stop. See the Union station guide for more detail.
