Nearest metro station and walking directions

Key guidance for visitors

• Al Qusais Metro Station (Green Line, G12) is the most commonly recommended Metro stop.
• The consulate is not directly adjacent to the station, which is why most visitors combine the Metro with a short RTA bus or taxi ride.
• A complete walk from Al Qusais is possible, but it is generally less comfortable, especially during warmer months.
• Some directions still point to the Airport Freezone or the Stadium, but both involve a much longer walk than using Al Qusais.
• For the shortest and easiest journey, Green Line + bus or taxi is now the preferred route.
