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.

Al Sufouh Tram Route 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.

      Ah yes! It’s 5-10 minutes depending upon how quickly you walk! You have to go up in the lift, then take the walkway across the road, then another walkway into the car park, then through the car park to the other side.

    Let’s say i’m in a tram coming from Al Sufouh. After Dubai Marina(station 5) the tram must always turn right to do the loop in Jumeirah Beach Residence. So after the loop (st 1+2+3+4 and again 1+2+3+4) the tram will go forward (st. 5+6+7… and so on)? So if I stay in Jumeirah Lakes Towers platform I can choose if I want to do the JBR loop or the long route? So one train goes in loop and next train go forward? That’s the algorithm?

      Not sure of the exact algorithm Gabriel or whether the same tram does the loop all the time or does the long run. Station assistants will tell you whether a tram is on one route or another and the screens also indicate which way the tram is going.

    hi i would like to take my parents on a tram ride. the closest metro station to my house is Burjuman. How can you guide me to come by metro. And how much would it cost me per person to and fro

      As shown on the map the Metro interchanges with the Tram at two stations so take the Metro to either station, probably Dubai Marina is best. Cost depends on where the journey starts and ends but is covered by the zoning system, check the tickets page for details.

    Hi, I am visiting Dubai for the third time in March 2015 with my family, and it’s nice to see that the Dubai Tram is operational now. We will be staying at the Doubletree at the Marina, and after doing some research I see that the JBR Res 2 station will suit us. I have downloaded a map, but I see there is another route (2) which seems just to go round and round in a small area in the middle. How will we know we are on the right tram to connect with the Metro station. Will there be some indication on the tram itself. Many thanks.

    Thanks for this great info but I have a question if I want to get to the marina walk what is the nearest tram station ?

    Thanks

      It depends whereabouts on Marina walk you want to be – you could pretty much get off at any of the 3 Marina stations and they are all near the walk.

      Somebody else asked the same question and the answer is I don’t know as I haven’t been able to check it yet but it shouldn’t be far as they share the same car park.

      In theory you could do that and by touching in and out with your Nol card you should only be charged 3 dirhams but I heard in the past that the RTA don’t like these round trips and they may think you got out somewhere and didn’t touch out so there is a chance you may be charged for 2 trips. Still cheap though!
