Dubai Metro Green Line
The Green Line is the Dubai Metro's link to the city's older soul. Over roughly 23 km and 20 stations it curves from Etisalat by e& in the north, down through the markets and hotels of Deira, across the Creek and into historic Bur Dubai, ending at Creek. It meets the Red Line at Union and BurJuman, so it's easy to combine the two.
About the Green Line
🕌 The heritage heart of Dubai
If the Red Line is modern Dubai, the Green Line is the old city. It is the line that takes you to the Gold Souk and Spice Souk in Deira, to the wooden abra boats that ferry passengers across Dubai Creek, and to the restored heritage quarters, textile market and museums of Bur Dubai. These are the districts that existed long before the skyscrapers, and the Green Line threads right through them, making it the obvious choice for travellers who want to experience traditional Dubai rather than its malls and towers.
🧭 Compact, central and easy to walk
The Green Line is shorter than the Red and its stations sit closer together, because it serves dense, older neighbourhoods rather than spread-out modern developments. That works in your favour: it is easy to ride a couple of stops and then explore on foot, wandering between the souks, the Creek and the historic districts without needing to get back on a train. The line stays close to the water for much of its length, so many stations are only a short walk from the Creek itself.
🔀 Two easy links to the Red Line
The Green Line connects to the Red Line at Union and BurJuman, the network's two interchange stations, where you can switch lines without leaving the paid area or buying a new ticket. This makes it simple to combine the two in one day — for example a morning exploring Old Dubai and the souks on the Green Line, a quick change at Union or BurJuman, and an afternoon at the Burj Khalifa and Downtown on the Red Line.
