Dubai metro and buses: a newcomer guide

A practical route through a common Dubai life and property question. Requirements change, so start by checking the official source.

Official source: RTA Dubai

Source for current requirements and facts: RTA Dubai. We do not insert unverified fees or timelines.

What to check, in order

  1. 1

    Plan the full route

    Check stations, interchanges and the last mile through official RTA services.

  2. 2

    Choose the right travel card

    Verify current card types and zones on RTA before topping up.

  3. 3

    Check operating hours

    Schedules vary by day and holidays, so verify before travel.

  4. 4

    Compare neighbourhoods

    When choosing a home, measure door-to-door time rather than map distance to a station.

Fees and timelines may change — verify with the official source.
