Dubai Metro station names that changed (and what they used to be)

Old maps and blog posts still use the old names. Here is a list of renamed stations visitors are most likely to need.

Dubai Metro station names are sold as naming rights, so they change from time to time. If a map or app does not match the signs, this list will help.

Names can change again. Station signs and the RTA apps always show the current name. For fares and Nol cards, see our transport guide.
