Where is the station?

Dubai Al Yalayis Station is next to Jumeirah Golf Estates in Me’aisem First, directly opposite the Jumeirah Golf Estates Metro Station. It is connected to the city by the E311, E44 and D57 roads.

The new station has direct access to the existing Dubai Metro Red Line through an 400m-long elevated pedestrian walkway. When the Gold Line opens in 2032, the stop will become an interchange between the two lines.

Al Dhaid Station in Sharjah is also slated to open on September 30.
