RTA has shared fresh details on the Dubai Metro Blue Line, due to open in 2029. It should give city transport a major boost.
Dubai Metro Blue Line Got Two Routes and 14 Stations
RTA announced the Blue Line will be on two routes, connecting 14 metro blue line stations featuring elevated and underground stations all over Dubai. The new metro carries over 320,000 passengers per day, according to RTA’s Twitter post.
The line will run for 30 km, with 15.5 km underground and 14.5 km above ground. As a result, getting around the main residential and business areas will be easier.
Elevated and Underground Stations along the Blue Line
What’s on the line:
- Five above‑ground stations
- Four underground stations
- One underground interchange station
Additional elevated stations are in the pipeline for future development phases, so the line has the potential to grow with the city.
First-Ever Dubai Metro Blue Line bridge Across Dubai Creek
A key highlight of the metro blue line is its first-ever crossing over Dubai Creek. A 1,300-metre bridge makes it possible, which is a big engineering win for the metro.
Areas covered by the RTA Blue Line Route
Marsa, Dubai Creek, Dubai Festival City, Three stops of International City, Al Rashidya, Al Warqa, Mirdif, Dubai Silicon Oasis, and Academic City
Interchange Stations to and from Red and Green Lines
In addition, three interchanges link it with the current metro:
Al Khor Interchange on the Green Line, Centrepoint on the Red Line and an interchange in International City
Two Routes Established for Hassle-Free Connectivity
Previously, the RTA’s Director General said the Blue Line was constructed using two routes to ensure the Red and Green Lines remain connected nicely.

“The new line keeps the Red and Green Lines connected with two routes,” he mentioned.
The first route starts at Al Khor Interchange in Al Jaddaf. It then passes through Dubai Festival City, Dubai Creek Harbour and Ras Al Khor before reaching the International City One interchange.
Blue Line Routes that help to make North-East Dubai Trips Faster
In total, it’s divided into two parts: one 21 km long and the other 9 km. Connecting the north-east part of Dubai with the current metro, hence getting around the city is quicker, smoother, and more efficient.
