Dubai Metro Rails
Union is one of the key interchange stations in Dubai, connecting the Red and Green lines in the heart of Deira close to commercial streets, bus links, and older city districts.
Union is on the Red Line and sits between Centrepoint and EXPO 2020. For many riders, this station is more useful when you know the surrounding area, likely exits, and the next two stops in each direction.
It also works as an interchange point, which gives travelers more routing flexibility during busy periods or service changes.

Network-level operating hours for reference. Actual first and last departures from Union can vary by direction, events, and holiday operations. The 30-minute free transfer window applies when connecting to feeder buses using your Nol card.
Follow interchange signage carefully because the station is large and transfer walking times can be longer than at standard stations.
For Deira shopping areas, confirm the correct exit before tapping out to reduce walking distance.
Check your travel direction before boarding, especially if you are heading toward a terminal or changing lines later in the trip.
Use nearby stations as fallback options when this stop is crowded, event traffic is high, or taxi access is slower than expected.
