Where Is BurJuman Metro Station Located?

BurJuman Metro Station is located in the oldest and busiest commercial district of Bur Dubai, right under BurJuman Mall, on the corner of Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street and Khalid Bin Al Waleed Road.

The area around the station is a hive of retail, consulates, budget and business hotels, and older residential blocks, and as such, it’s by no means a bad place to start your journey to explore Bur Dubai and Al Karama.

Station Overview

BurJuman is a station on two lines (R19 on the Red Line and G26 on the Green Line). It’s one of just two stations on the entire network — the other being Union — that allow riders to change lines without exiting the paid zone.

It was inaugurated on 9 September 2009, initially as Khalid Bin Al Waleed, as part of the first phase of the Red Line from Rashidiya to Nakheel Harbour and Tower. In November 2012, it was renamed to BurJuman by RTA due to the surrounding shopping center. It is the second busiest on the Dubai Metro, after Union.

How to Transfer Between the Red and Green Lines at BurJuman

One of the simpler interchanges on the network is to transfer at BurJuman. Stop at the platform and take the footpath, escalator, or lift to reach the other platform indicated by the signs.

There is no need to leave the station or tap the Nol card again in between the transfers. Most people ride the switch in about 3-5 minutes, which makes BurJuman a very efficient interchange with above-ground transfers in the city. 

Travel Times From BurJuman to Major Destinations

These are approximate travel times only, and they may take a few minutes longer at peak time due to dwell times at interchange platforms. 

Nol Card and Fare Information

BurJuman is located in Fare Zone 6, and as with the rest of the network, you can’t pay in cash at the RTA Metro Exit 4 gates; you can only use a Nol card. Fares are zone-based; that is, they are not fixed per station-to-station; they depend on the number of zones you cross in your journey.

An approximate price ranges from AED 3 per zone for one-zone trips to closer to AED 7.50 per zone for trips that span 3 or more zones. Actual fares may vary depending on the type of Nol card and the number of zones travelled and are therefore only a planning guide, and not a fixed amount.

• Nol Silver Card – standard fare, available to everyone who rides.
• Nol Gold Card – high-priced air cabins, higher fare cabin class
• Single ticket for tourists of the Nol Red Ticket type.

When you travel to and from BurJuman every day for work, it’s usually worthwhile considering a monthly Nol ticket compared to a ticket machine fare — every day brings a few more minutes of savings. 

Bus and Taxi Connections from BurJuman

Several RTA bus lines serve the station, including 33, 44, and C10, which run to Al Qusais, Al Rashidiya, and the Mercato Mall and pass through Al Ghubaiba Bus Station.

The taxi ranks are located outside several exits, but the side of the Exit 4 taxi rank is the busiest for taxi pickup service due to its proximity to the mall and commercial block.

It is typically easier to get off at Exit 2 (which is closest to the main bus stops instead of the mall side) if you are heading to Al Karama or Satwa. 

Facilities and Accessibility

BurJuman is one of the better-equipped stations on the network, and has Nol recharge machines, retail kiosks, seating areas, CCTV, and help desks throughout the concourse.

The station is fully wheelchair accessible with tactile guidance paths, elevators, and ramps between both Red Line and Green Line platforms, which includes the path to exit at platform 4.

Nearby Landmarks and Attractions

Bur Dubai’s blend of old and new is easily accessible from all exits of BurJuman, though Exit 4 takes you closest to the shopping part of the building:

• Directly via the covered walkway at Exit 4, home to international brands, a cinema, and a large food court, the BurJuman Mall – Dubai’s long-running shopping and dining hub.
• About 10–12 minutes, by Exit 3, is the Al Seef District—a waterfront promenade of a heritage style consisting of cafes, art spaces, and Creek-side strolls.
• One stop from BurJuman, you will arrive at Al Fahidi Historical District, the wind-towered Dubai old quarter, restored art galleries, and the Dubai Museum.
• A short walk from Al Fahidi Station, the Dubai Museum is located in Al Fahidi Fort and is a compact yet comprehensive museum of Dubai’s pre-oil history.
• Traditional Shopping and Market Browsing – Go to Gold Souk & Spice Souk, which is only a short metro ride away towards Deira.

The combination of heritage, retail, and office activity is exactly what keeps BurJuman busy 24/7, especially this particular exit, as it is used by a lot of foot traffic all year round. 

Living Near BurJuman Metro

For those seeking direct interchange access, renters can opt for older buildings in Bur Dubai, which are still a popular and relatively affordable alternative to newer communities in Dubai. Studios and 1-bedroom apartments within a 10-minute walk from the hotel can range from AED 45,000 to 70,000 per annum, depending on the building’s age and amenities.

While rental prices vary throughout the year depending on demand, it is best to take this as a guideline and not as a hard and fixed price; however, if getting to the Red and Green Line is more of a priority than newer finishes, then Bur Dubai is one of the more economically viable pockets of the central part of Dubai.

Travel Tips for BurJuman Metro Exit 4 Users

• If possible, avoid the busy interchange peak hours, between 7:30 AM and 9:30 AM, and 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM.
• Exit 4 is used specifically when your destination is BurJuman Mall or the adjacent commercial block, as this will minimize walking distance.
• Fill the NOL card before you travel; queues form quickly at peak times.
• Exit maps to landmarks are sometimes changed, so check them on a first visit. 

Final Thoughts

The BurJuman Metro Station Exit 4 is covered, direct, and steps away from the BurJuman mall and deserves its reputation as the place to go when you’re shopping or commuting to work.

Seamless Red-Green Line interchange, excellent bus links, and a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood of Bur Dubai make BurJuman one of the most convenient stations on the Dubai Metro network for residents as well as visitors.
