Dubai attractions near the metro
Which station for every landmark, mall and souk — with the line and the honest walking time.
See Dubai by metro
The driverless Dubai Metro is the fastest, cheapest way to reach the city’s big sights, from Burj Khalifa to the Gold Souk. Here you will find which station serves each attraction, which line it is on, and exactly how far the walk (or tram hop) really is — because most stations are named for a landmark that is still a short journey from the door.
