Dubai Metro Lines

The Dubai Metro is a fully automated, driverless network and one of the longest of its kind in the world. Today it has two operational lines — the Red Line and the Green Line — which meet at the Union and BurJuman interchanges, plus the Blue Line currently under construction. Trains are air-conditioned, run every few minutes from early morning until after midnight, and together connect the airport, Downtown, the Marina, the financial district and the old heart of the city. Below you can browse every station on each line, or open a full guide to a particular line.
