Dubai Tram Map
With Dubai Tram opening in November 2014, the first phase of the project covered 11 stations. The detailed RTA route map is shown further down below but here is a simplified version of the Dubai Tram map so that you can easily see the Dubai Tram stations that are operational and the directions that the trams will travel around the system.
Dubai Tram Route and Station Map
As of now there is just one route as shown below with 11 stations. There is one circular route that runs from Al Sufouh, round to JBR after passing through Dubai Marina and then back around past JLT and the Marina to end up back at Al Sufouh. There have been plans for a number of years to extend the tram but this has still not happened. It only takes a few minutes to get to each station.
The tram goes in one direction around the JBR area, as the small loop route was discontinued due to under use a while ago.
So, for example, if you want to get from Dubai Marina Mall to JBR then you need to change at Dubai Marina.
When you catch the tram from the Al Sufouh end the signs may say that the tram goes to Jumeirah Lakes Towers, but it does not just stop there, it keeps going on around the whole route and returns to Al Sufouh.
The Dubai Tram route means that the trams themselves can travel in a complete loop from the Al Sufouh depot and back again so if you stay on them that is where you will end up!
As you can see from the Dubai Tram map, you can interchange with the Dubai Metro at Dubai Marina (for Sobha Realty station) and Jumeirah Lakes Towers (for DMCC station) and also with the Palm Monorail at Palm Jumeirah station. There is a short walk that also involves a lift to get from the tram to the metro/monorail.
RTA Map
Above is the RTA route map for the Dubai Tram project. As you can see the tramway runs through Jumeirah Beach Residence for about one kilometre and has two stations in that area.
Location of the Route
The route goes from Al Sufouh and heads up to the elevated section that runs along the Sheikh Zayed Road side of the Dubai Marina section. The tram route here is an add on to the road that runs along the back of the marina and there are 3 stations along this part of the route. Two of those stations link up with the Dubai Metro at the Dubai Marina station and the Jumeirah Lake Towers station.
There are 6 further stations that run from the marina along Al Sufouh Road just past Knowledge Village and this is where the first phase of the Al Sufouh Tram route stops. There is then a depot in Al Sufouh. Station 9 links up with the Palm Monorail at the foot of the Palm Jumeirah. This is good news for the Palm Monorail particularly as it may mean that more people are able to commute using public transport from the Palm (although the price of Palm Monorail tickets will likely have to come down at this point to make it feasible as a commuting option and this doesn’t seem likely to happen at any time in the near future).
Phase two of the Dubai Tram will also link up with the Dubai Metro station at Mall of the Emirates but there is no information currently as to when this will happen.

Hi guys i am planning to visit the Global Village. ..please if anyone can provide info on which station is Global Village near to….thnx
admin
Sorry but the tram is nowhere near Global Village – in fact it is even further out than the Metro too so I think the only possible way to get there is either by car or if they run a bus service there.
angeline
you have to take metro going rashidiya and have to go down union metro station alghurair mall side there is bus going to global village..

I think you would need to get the metro to interchange with the tram if you want to use it.

Can you please let us know which way the tram will go after Marina metro station? I hope it goes towards Marina Mall, following the numbering of the stations (5 –> 4 –> 3.. etc) and not to JBR.
admin
This is the way I would expect it to go but still waiting on confirmation which may not come until it’s up snd running.

Hi Admin,
Do you know which station we should go out if we want to go the the Dubai Marina Walk?
Thanks,
Bandi
admin
The marina walk goes quite a long way but if you get out at the marina mall station you can walk through the mall and you will be near the marina ferry terminal.

You would probably have to contact the RTA to find out.
Del
How is the tram powered and is the line a single line or dual
admin
Hi Del, I have to admit I’m not really up on the workings of the tram! You would need to go to a technical or construction type website for that kind of information I think.
petr techlovsky
tram is powered by ground rail. See more about technology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground-level_power_supply
neil munro
Please can you tell me if the tram is scheduled to go right down to Abu Dhabi, or what the public transport service for this route is (method). Thanks
admin
No the tram project is just within Dubai.
You can get a bus from Dubai to Abu Dhabi.
Carlo Enrico
Is it Planning to link the Tram at the Metro Station “Mall of the Emirates” ?
admin
I understand that this will now be in the second phase of the Tram project.
Marty Fullard
Hi Admin
I have been trying to get through the RTA but, alas, it was just me and teleprompter. I am writing an article on the new tram for Gulf News, and would like a high-res route map (the one on this website is not quite suitable), and I have further questions that I hope you can help me with.
Please contact me on the email address provided, I will happily return a call.
Many thanks

Hi Marty and thanks for your comment. Unfortunately I don’t have a high res map. I set up this site independently quite a while ago to provide info about the Dubai Tram that I thought people might be interested in but it is not an official site linked with the RTA.

Good Job! It was really Informative.
