đź’ˇ 2025 Metro Tips for Travelers
- The “Gold Class” Perk: If you’re traveling during rush hour (7–9 AM and 5–7 PM), buy a Gold Nol Card. The Gold Class cabin is at the front or back of the train and is significantly less crowded.
- Check the Side: Dubai Metro stations often have two exits on opposite sides of a 12-lane highway. Always check which exit (Side A or B) your hotel is on before you cross the bridge!
- Last Train Times: On weekdays, the metro usually runs until midnight, but on Fridays and Saturdays, it extends to 1:00 AM.
