Dubai Metro

The emirate will have two connections to the UAE’s national passenger railway and two stations on the planned high-speed Abu Dhabi-Dubai line

The large-scale upgrade marks a major step in Dubai’s wider digital transformation agenda and is designed to strengthen the emirate’s public transport payment infrastructure

The project is currently 20 per cent complete, with more than 10,000 workers and over 500 engineers and experts involved in delivery

The proposed metro corridor will link Dubai International Airport (DXB) in Al-Garhoud with Al-Maktoum International Airport (DWC) in Jebel Ali, creating a seamless connection between the city’s two aviation hubs

Event organisers have advised overseas visitors and residents unfamiliar with the area to use taxis to reach the start line

From unveiling new metro corridors to easing bottlenecks at intersections, Dubai’s strategy reflects a long-term effort to future-proof mobility

Dubai Police will deploy 8,530 officers and 1,145 patrols, supported by 33 marine rescue boats, Civil Defence vehicles, and ambulances

Beyond efficiency gains, the technology substantially reduces human risk by limiting the need for manual access to confined or complex tunnel environments

With 9 elevated and 5 underground stations and modern amenities, the Blue Line sets new benchmarks for urban transit in the region

More than 500 engineers and experts, supported by 3,000 workers across 12 sites, are working to deliver this world-class transit link
