About Burjuman Metro Station
Burjuman metro station (R19/G26) is one of the Dubai Metro's key interchange points, located underground beneath BurJuman Centre mall in the Bur Dubai district in Nol Zone 1. The station serves both the Red Line and Green Line, making it one of only three points on the network where passengers can switch between lines without exiting the paid zone. BurJuman Centre is accessible directly via Exit 3, making this one of the most convenient mall-metro connections in Dubai.
BurJuman Metro Station Exits
BurJuman is one of only two stations on the Dubai Metro where the Red Line and Green Line meet, so the station has more exits than most. Four exits lead out to different parts of Bur Dubai, and picking the right one saves a real walk. Take Exit 3 for BurJuman Mall, Exit 2 for Al Karama, and Exit 4 for Al Seef, Dubai Creek and Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood.
Exit 1 leads to Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Road (north side)
Exit 1 opens onto Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Road on the commercial side of the station. It also houses the station's Security Office, which serves as the Lost and Found collection point for the whole Dubai Metro network, not just BurJuman. If you have left something on a train anywhere on the network, this is where RTA holds it. The office is open from 7 am to 11 pm Monday to Friday, and from 1 pm to midnight on Saturday and Sunday.
BurJuman Metro Station Exit 2, Khalid Bin Al Waleed Street (east) for Al Karama
This is the exit most people search for. It opens onto Khalid Bin Al Waleed Street on the eastern side, and it is the one to take for bus stops, local offices, street-level shops, and Al Karama's restaurants and shopping streets.
Exit 3 goes straight to BurJuman Mall
Exit 3 goes straight into BurJuman Mall, with no road to cross. Take this one for shopping, dining, supermarkets, cafes, or just somewhere air-conditioned to wait out the afternoon heat.
BurJuman Metro Station Exit 4, Khalid Bin Al Waleed Street (west) for Old Dubai
Exit 4 opens onto the western side of Khalid Bin Al Waleed Street and is the best starting point if you plan to explore Old Dubai. From here you can walk to Al Seef, Dubai Creek and Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, home to traditional wind tower architecture, museums and some of the city's oldest streets. Mina Bazaar is also nearby, known for textiles, jewellery, souvenirs and Indian restaurants.
Overhead signs at BurJuman are in both Arabic and English and mark every exit clearly, so if in doubt, check the sign before heading up the stairs.

Tap your Nol Card at the entrance gates to enter the paid zone. Make sure your balance is at least AED 3.00 before you go through, since that is the minimum for travel. Top-up machines are available at the station entrance and inside the concourse.
-
Overhead LED screens show the next trains on both the Red Line and Green Line with real-time departure countdowns. Confirm your line, direction, and next stop before heading to the platform. If you are unsure, station staff are available at the information desk.
-
To switch from the Red Line to the Green Line, or the other way round, follow the clearly signed transfer corridor inside the station. You do not need to tap out and tap back in. The RTA system treats a transfer within 45 minutes as one continuous journey at no extra charge.

Stand behind the yellow line until the doors open, and let passengers get off before you board. Car 1 at the front of the train is Gold Class, where a higher fare applies. Car 3 is reserved for women and children. All other cars are standard Silver Class.
