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. This page lists every station in order, with its fare zone and a link to its station guide. 41 stations already have a guide on this site; 12 do not yet, and those are marked “Guide coming soon”. Zones checked 2026-11-10 against the official RTA rail network map (published 2026.09.25).
Use the Dubai Metro Map to see the two lines drawn out, the Fare Calculator to price a trip between any two stations, and the Route Planner to plan the route, including where to change trains.
How to use this index
Stations are listed in the order trains run through them, from one terminus to the other. The Zone column is the fare zone the station sits in; your fare depends on how many distinct zones your route touches, not on distance or stops. Two stations, Danube and Jumeirah Golf Estates, sit on zone boundaries, so no single zone is verified for them and they are marked “Zone to confirm”. Click “Station guide” to open the full guide for that station.
Red Line stations (35)
The Red Line runs from Centrepoint in the northeast, past Dubai International Airport Terminals 1 and 3, through Deira, Bur Dubai, Downtown, Business Bay and the Marina, to two termini in the southwest. The line splits at National Paints: one branch runs to Expo 2020 through the Route 2020 stations, and the other runs to Life Pharmacy. Check the destination on the train before you board. 30 of the 35 Red Line stations have a guide; 5 do not yet.

Interchanges: where to change trains
Two stations serve both Metro lines. Union is the northern interchange near the creek in Zone 5, and BurJuman is the southern one in Bur Dubai in Zone 6. Change at whichever gives fewer stops; the Route Planner checks both. Allow about 5 minutes to reach the connecting platform. Two more stations connect the Metro with the Tram: Sobha Realty and DMCC, both on the Red Line in Zone 2. The Tram runs from Jumeirah Beach Residence to Al Sufouh, and all 11 Tram stops are in Zone 2.
Zones at a glance
Dubai has 7 fare zones. Metro stations sit in zones 1, 2, 5 and 6 only, and no Metro station is fully inside Zone 3, Zone 4 or Zone 7. Of the 53 distinct stations, 51 have a verified single zone: Zone 1 has 3 stations, Zone 2 has 14, Zone 5 has 20, and Zone 6 has 14. The creek is the boundary between Zone 5 on the Deira side and Zone 6 on the Bur Dubai side, so a one-stop trip from Union (Zone 5) to BurJuman (Zone 6) crosses a zone. The Zone 6 to Zone 2 boundary on the Red Line falls between Business Bay and Garmin, and the Zone 2 to Zone 1 boundary falls between Energy and Life Pharmacy on the trunk and between Al Furjan and Dubai Investment Park on the Route 2020 branch.
Zone to confirm: Danube sits on the Zone 1 and Zone 2 boundary, and Jumeirah Golf Estates sits where Zones 1, 2 and 3 meet. No single zone is verified for either station, so the Fare Calculator and Route Planner show no fare for trips starting or ending there. Check the fare in the RTA app or on the gate display.
Stations without a guide yet (12)
These 12 stations do not have a station guide on this site yet: BurJuman, ADCB, Financial Centre, Al Fardan Exchange and DMCC on the Red Line, and e&, Al Nahda, Stadium, Al Qiyadah, Salah Al Din, Al Ghubaiba and Al Jadaf on the Green Line. Their zone, line and position are listed in the tables above, and you can price any trip to or from them with the Fare Calculator or plan a route with the Route Planner. Guides for these stations are coming next.
Old station names in some guides
Several Dubai Metro stations were renamed, and some guides on this site still use the former name in the title. The station is the same; only the name changed. Garmin was On Passive (renamed September 2026). Life Pharmacy was UAE Exchange. National Paints was Jabal Ali. Al Garhoud was GGICO. InsuranceMarket was Mashreq. Dubai Internet City was Internet City. Emirates Towers was Emirates Tower. Max was Al Khail, and Max has two guides on this site, one under each name. The official RTA map still calls the Route 2020 terminus Expo 2020, not Expo City.
Frequently asked questions
The answers below use the station list and zones on this page, checked 2026-11-10, and the gate display is final for fares.
How many Metro stations are there in Dubai?
There are 53 distinct stations: 35 on the Red Line and 20 on the Green Line, with Union and BurJuman shared by both lines. Some sources say 55 because they count Union and BurJuman twice, once per line. This page counts each physical station once.
Which stations have no guide yet?
12 stations have no guide yet: BurJuman, ADCB, Financial Centre, Al Fardan Exchange and DMCC on the Red Line, and e&, Al Nahda, Stadium, Al Qiyadah, Salah Al Din, Al Ghubaiba and Al Jadaf on the Green Line. Their zones and positions are in the tables above, and the Fare Calculator and Route Planner cover all 53 stations.
Where can I change between the Red and Green Lines?
Change at Union or BurJuman. Union is the northern interchange near the creek, and BurJuman is the southern one in Bur Dubai. The Route Planner checks both and shows the one with fewer stops. Allow about 5 minutes to reach the connecting platform.
What zone is my station in?
Find your station in the tables above. Metro stations sit in Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 5 or Zone 6. Zone 1 has 3 stations, Zone 2 has 14, Zone 5 has 20 and Zone 6 has 14. Danube and Jumeirah Golf Estates sit on zone boundaries, so no single zone is verified for them and they are marked “Zone to confirm”.
Why do some station guides use old names?
Several stations were renamed, and some guides still use the former name in the title. Garmin was On Passive, Life Pharmacy was UAE Exchange, National Paints was Jabal Ali, Al Garhoud was GGICO, InsuranceMarket was Mashreq, Dubai Internet City was Internet City, Emirates Towers was Emirates Tower, and Max was Al Khail. The station is the same in each case.
Which station is nearest Dubai Airport?
Airport Terminal 3 station serves Terminal 3 and Airport Terminal 1 station serves Terminal 1, both on the Red Line in Zone 5. Terminal 2 has no Metro station, so take a bus to the nearest Red Line station or a taxi. The airport stations are a 5 to 8 minute walk from arrivals; follow the red Metro signs.
