Two day first trip. Clean, fast and very impressive trains. Easy to follow signs and ticket purchasing. Peak times very busy tho and we had to wait for a second train once. Sadly, the norm is to push your way in before others alight - that's not impressive. Train arrival times in minutes are only given on the platform signs... More

The Metro was fine but taxis are cheap and it is often a long walk to the attractions. It would be good if the metro could have maps to show you where to go when you emerge confused at the stations. We failed to find a lot of places we wanted to see as there was so little info. All... More

Got to be the best metro in the world. Starts about 6a.m. until about 11a.m. Runs every five or six minutes. You can buy a silver Nol Card for 20AED which gives you a full days travel anywhere and everywhere. Thereafter, just top it up on the machines or at the counter. Runs from Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, no... More

Fantastic system. Clean, efficent and reliable! Worth one trip just to appreciate the engineering and design of the stations. Although cabs are cheap in Dubai. If you are a single person take the metro but if you are three or more a cab will be quicker and cost around the same!

It is the cleanest Metro I've been in. Very accurate in timing and you can find one every 5 minutes.

Very cheap, but requires a lot of walking from the stations to destinations. The Dubai mall is over a ten minute walk from the station. We found it extremely crowded and uncomfortable for journeys of more than one stop.

The Dubai metro was an excellent way to travel around the city. It was fast, clean and not to expensive. You get a great view of the city while travelling along and if you can manage to get the front carriage you can see straight ahead as there are no drivers!

They only have 2 types of tickets so its easy to understand and easy to buy. Not many people take trains so its convienent and not crowded and its quiet reasonable too.
