Approving Dubai Metro’s Gold Line

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, approved the Dubai Metro Gold Line, the emirate’s largest sustainable transport project. Involving an investment of around AED34 billion, the new metro line will extend over 42 kilometres and 18 stations, marking Dubai’s first fully underground metro line. The Gold Line connects to both the Red and Green Lines, while integrating with Etihad Rail, effectively linking Dubai to the UAE’s comprehensive national transportation network. Furthermore, the Gold Line is part of Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan’s targets and wellbeing pillar. Serving as a comprehensive urban artery, the route spans 15 strategic locations, originating in Al Ghubaiba and crossing several landmark developments.
