About Abu Baker Al Siddique Metro Station

Abu Baker Al Siddique Metro Station (G18) sits on the Green Line in Deira, Dubai, in Nol Zone 1 — making it one of the lowest-fare metro stops in the city. The station is named after the major arterial road it runs beneath and serves one of Deira's densest commercial and residential corridors. It has two exits: Station 2 is the main exit opening directly onto Abu Baker Al Siddique Road for shops, clinics, and eateries, while Station 1 serves the residential blocks on the opposite side.

The station opened in September 2011 as part of the Green Line launch. Deira's Al Muteena and Hor Al Anz districts have historically been among Dubai's most affordable residential areas, housing large South Asian and Filipino communities with dense street-level retail — tailors, mobile repair shops, supermarkets, and restaurants. The abu baker al siddique metro station sits at the centre of this commercial fabric, making it a genuinely useful daily commuter stop rather than a tourist destination.

The station sits above Abu Baker Al Siddique Road in the Al Muteena district, with KIMSHEALTH Medical Center directly adjacent on Salah Al Din Street. Samak Zamzam Restaurant is a 3-minute walk, Nesto Hypermarket in Burj Nahar Mall is 7 minutes, and the Ramada Plaza by Wyndham is immediately beside the station. The street level is characterised by continuous retail frontage, heavy pedestrian traffic, and a mix of South Asian eateries, pharmacies, and mobile shops.

From Abu Baker Al Siddique Station, key Green Line connections include: Salah Al Din (G19) in 1 stop and 3 minutes; Union interchange for the Red Line in 2 stops and 5 minutes; BurJuman (G26/R19) interchange in approximately 8 stops and 18 minutes toward Creek; and Etisalat by e& (G01, Green Line terminus) in about 18 stops and 35 minutes.

The station is primarily used by Deira residents commuting to central Dubai, workers at the medical centre and nearby businesses, and shoppers from the surrounding community. A practical note on the abu baker al siddique green line station: the area around it has very limited parking, which makes the metro genuinely competitive with taxis for most journeys. RTA bus routes 5, 8, and C8 extend coverage into the nearby streets not on foot-reach. The Zone 1 Silver Nol fare is AED 3.00 per journey.

About Al Muteena — Abu Baker Al Siddique Metro Station Area

Al Muteena is one of central Deira's most established mid-density residential and commercial districts, shaped by decades of South Asian and Filipino settlement. The abu baker al siddique metro station anchors the district's main road, giving residents direct metro access without a long bus dependency. The streets around the station are dense with small businesses: Indian and Pakistani restaurants serving thalis and biryanis, mobile phone repair stalls, watch and jewellery shops, and South-East Asian grocery stores that stock Philippine, Indonesian, and Sri Lankan products unavailable in mainstream supermarkets.

Burj Nahar Mall, home to Nesto Hypermarket, is 7 minutes on foot and is a major draw for the local population with groceries, clothing, and electronics at budget-friendly prices. The KIMSHEALTH Medical Center adjacent to the station is an important healthcare anchor — the centre handles general and specialist consultations for insured patients. The Ramada Plaza beside the station is the area's main hotel, used by business travellers visiting nearby Deira commercial offices.

Al Muteena is a working neighbourhood rather than a leisure destination — most visitors here are coming specifically to eat at one of the well-regarded Yemeni or Pakistani restaurants, to shop at Nesto, or to use a local service. The abu baker al siddique green line station makes this district accessible from any point on the metro network, and the Zone 1 fare means the journey cost is always AED 3.00 regardless of where on the Red or Green Line you're coming from.
