You might think Dubai Metro stations are only there as a place to scan your nol card and pass the time until your train arrives at the platform.
But that’s where you’re wrong. Inside most stations are a host of fun features just waiting for you to discover them.
Next time you’re on the morning commute or heading off to some weekend plans, be sure to check out some of the cooler things you can find inside Dubai Metro stations.
Cool things to do at Dubai Metro stations
1) Check out some art
When passing through Burjuman Metro station, it’s hard to keep your eyes off of the eye-catching design inside in the station itself.
Some incredible chandeliers are draped above the escalators, designed to look like water droplets, as well as some works from local artists in the station itself.
2) Get a birds-eye-view over Sheikh Zayed Road
It’s not often you get to stand above a 14-lane motorway, but in many of the Dubai Metro stations, you can make the most of the view.
Possible in most stations, head to the bridge connecting one side of the metro station to the other, and watch out the windows as the traffic flies past.
A great spot for a quick photo, be sure to admire the view next time you travel. More
