Burj Khalifa–Dubai Mall Metro Station set for major expansion

Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority, in partnership with Emaar Properties, will upgrade the Burj Khalifa–Dubai Mall Metro Station, increasing its footprint from 6,700 to 8,500 sq m and boosting hourly passenger capacity from 7,250 to 12,320 – a 65 per cent rise. The development aims to accommodate surges during high‑demand periods such as New Year's Eve, public holidays and national events, projecting a daily throughput of up to 220,000 passengers. The station, originally opened in January 2010 to coincide with the launch of Burj Khalifa, has seen ridership climb steadily—from 6.13 million boardings in 2013 to over 10.57 million in 2024, representing nearly 58,000 daily entries and exits. RTA Director‑General Mattar Al Tayer highlighted that the surge in metro use, particularly during peak events, necessitated this strategic enhancement. The upgrade plan includes expanded concourse and platform areas, additional escalators and elevators, new entrances, pedestrian bridges and dedicated entry and exit gates. The number of fare barriers will rise, and commercial zones will be integrated to increase non‑fare revenue. Enhanced links to buses, bicycles, e‑scooters and pedestrian routes are also part of the design. Landscaping enhancements will complement improvements to passenger flow. ADVERTISEMENT Architectural design will reflect the seashell motif common to the Red and Green metro lines, prioritising clarity and reduced walking distances. Universal accessibility is central to the project, with provisions for passengers of determination, senior citizens and those with strollers. RTA's long‑term mobility strategy anticipates sustained demand through to 2040. Passenger volumes on New Year's Eve regularly exceed 110,000 at this location alone. Such figures underscore the station's importance as a gateway to Downtown Dubai, home to iconic attractions including Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall.

These are the exact locations of the 14 stations on the Dubai Metro Blue Line

In an exciting move for public transportation in Dubai, construction for the Dubai Metro Blue Line expansion is underway, and scheduled for completion in 2029. This massive expansion of the existing network was first discussed back in 2006, along with other potential lines and the expansion of the existing Red and Green lines. After much anticipation, the process has begun, and for those wondering about what the network will look like, we have all the details. The line will serve 9 key communities including Dubai International Airport, Mirdif, Al Warqa, International City 1 and 2, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Academic City, Ras Al Khor Industrial Area, Dubai Creek Harbour and Dubai Festival City. The university area covers more than 129 million square feet and is predicted to accommodate more than 50,000 students by 2029. This station will be a major interchange and the first point of first route of the Dubai Metro Blue Line. The station will allow people on the Blue Line to connect directly with the Green Line. Al Rashidiya Another existing interchange station, Centrepoint Station on the Red Line will be where the second route begins. The final station on the Red Line will connect with the Blue Line. A much needed connection to this growing community, the Al Warqa station will be found on the smaller second route of the Dubai Metro Blue Line. Mirdif is also an area in need for direct transport, considering the large residential, suburban population. This station will be located on the longer 21km route. This is where the world's tallest metro station will be. The Emaar Properties Station is set to be an iconic landmark with the 11,000 square metre space designed to handle up to 160,000 passengers, with more than 70,000 expected to use it daily once it is operational. A 1,300 metre-long bridge will be constructed to allow the Metro to cross the Dubai Creek, the first of it's kind. Dubai Festival City will sit along the larger 21km route of the Dubai Metro Blue Line and connect a vital Dubai mall. The Metro service will provide a direct link for the area to key parts in the city, and means that there won't be as much reliance on the abra boat service. Several of these communities on the the Blue Line will now be directly connected to Dubai International Airport. It is being estimated that this journeys the world's busiest international airport and will take just 20 minutes. Dubai Silicon Oasis is a major, growing community as part of the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. On the Blue Line, the station to this area will sit on the 21km route and serve a much needed area with at the moment, virtually no connectivity to Downtown. The stations will be located in International City, another area that is lacking connectivity at the moment. These will include one underground interchange station allowing for greater connectivity across the existing Metro lines. Ras Al Khor will also be served by the larger route on the Blue Line. Found between the Emaar Properties Station and the International City stops, Ras Al Khor will soon have greater connectivity with major areas in Dubai.

Dubai's Blue Line Metro to Debut on 9 September 2029

Dubai's Roads & Transport Authority has confirmed the Blue Line of the Metro will begin operations on 9 September 2029, coinciding deliberately with the 20th anniversary of the Red Line's inauguration on 9 September 2009, signalling a significant milestone in the city's transport evolution. The 30 km line will feature 14 stations, linking residential and commercial hubs such as Al Jaddaf, Dubai Silicon Oasis, and Dubai Academic City, and is projected to serve nearly one million people by 2040. Incorporating 15.5 km of underground track and 14.5 km elevated, it will integrate both existing Red and Green Lines through interchanges at Centrepoint and Creek stations. International City 1 will serve as a crucial Y‑junction interchange. Construction is underway following Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum's foundation‑stone ceremony on 9 June 2025, where he approved a visionary design for the flagship Emaar Properties Station in Dubai Creek Harbour. The station, designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, will be the tallest metro station globally at 74 metres and accommodate up to 160,000 passengers daily, rising to over 70,000 by 2040. ADVERTISEMENT Engineered for efficiency, the Blue Line will include a 1.3 km viaduct over Dubai Creek—the first metro bridge of its kind in the emirate. Travel time along key stretches will range from 10 to 25 minutes, significantly reducing travel duration across connected zones. From a passenger operations standpoint, the system is designed to move around 46,000 people per hour in both directions, with a projected daily ridership of 200,000 by 2030, increasing to 320,000 by 2040. By then, the total Dubai Metro network—comprising existing lines, the new Blue Line, and the Route 2020 extension—will cover about 131 km with 78 stations and 168 trains. Economically, the Blue Line represents a Dh20.5 billion investment, undertaken by a consortium of MAPA, LIMAK and CRRC, selected through international tender. It aligns with Dubai's Economic Agenda D33 and the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, which aims to deliver sustainable, transit‑oriented growth within a 20‑minute urban framework. The line's stations meet platinum‑grade green building standards, underscoring Dubai's commitment to eco‑friendly infrastructure. The RTA forecasts that the Red, Green and Blue lines combined could produce economic and environmental benefits exceeding Dh56.5 billion by 2040 through fuel savings, reduced accidents, and lower carbon emissions. For commuters, the impact will be immediate: daily traffic on major corridors served by the Blue Line is expected to decrease by approximately 20%. Moreover, real estate values within station catchments could climb by up to 25%. Local residents, including students and workers, will benefit from faster commutes and better connectivity, particularly in academic and industrial zones. The new Emaar Properties Station itself is set to carry naming rights held by Emaar for at least ten years, with further station sponsorships anticipated. Its shell‑inspired exterior and use of premium materials—such as Jura limestone, bronze paneling, granite flooring and glass ceilings—reflect a commitment to aesthetic excellence and place‑based identity. During the ceremony, Sheikh Mohammed emphasised the Blue Line's role in enhancing community integration and positioning Dubai as a leading global city. He noted that the line would 'empower communities, enhancing connectivity and supporting sustainable urban growth'. The route serves nine districts—Mirdif, Al Warqa, International City phases, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Academic City, Ras Al Khor Industrial Area, Dubai Creek Harbour, Festival City—and links directly with Dubai International Airport for seamless airport‑to‑destination transfers. As construction progresses, RTA officials have called for greater attention to commuter needs during the build‑phase, including adequate parking and reduced road disruptions. Feedback from future daily users—students, residents, workers—underlined anticipation for improved access and decreased dependence on private cars.
