Dubai Metro Ramadan Station Timings Extended

As has become customary in the last few years since the Dubai Metro opened, the opening hours of the stations will be extended during the duration of Ramadan. The extended opening hours for the metro are as follows:

Saturday to Wednesday
5.50am until Midnight

Thursday
5.50am until 1am

Friday
1pm until 1am

Although these are the timings for the station openings, if you are looking to get the last train back from one end of the Red line to the other then you need to watch for the time of the last train. As it takes approximately 1 hour to get from one end to the other you will need to get to the station early enough to get the last train to where you are travelling. Feeder buses are running until 1am too.

In my opinion these timings are still much earlier than what is required by the general public and do not reflect similar timings in other parts of the world where the last trains go much later, but the RTA has not changed it's stance on this since opening so it seems that this is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future.
