Dubai Outlet Mall Metro and Public Transport Access

Dubai Outlet Mall is located on Dubai–Al Ain Road (E66) in the Dubailand area. There is no Dubai Metro station within walking distance of the mall, so visitors using public transport will need to combine the metro with an RTA bus rather than rely on a direct metro journey.

Al Ghubaiba Metro Station on the Green Line is a convenient option, as the nearby Al Ghubaiba Bus Station is the starting point for RTA bus routes 66 and 67, both of which serve Dubai Outlet Mall. BurJuman Metro Station, which connects the Red and Green lines, is another option when using Route 67, as the bus stops at the BurJuman Metro bus interchange before continuing towards Dubai Outlet Mall.

How to Go to Dubai Outlet Mall by Metro and Bus: Step-by-Step

Which route makes more sense depends on which line you’re already on.

Route 1: Al Ghubaiba Metro Station + bus

1. Ride the Green Line to Al Ghubaiba Station in Bur Dubai.
2. Board RTA bus 66 or 67 here, this is where the route starts.
3. Get off at Dubai Outlet Mall; the stop is close to the eastern entrance.

Starting from Al Ghubaiba means you board before the bus fills up, which makes this the more comfortable of the two options.

Route 2: BurJuman Metro Station + bus

1. Coming off the Red Line? Change to the Green Line at BurJuman (or take the Green Line there directly).
2. Catch RTA bus 66 towards Dubai Outlet Mall.
3. Get off at the Dubai Outlet Mall stop, near the eastern entrance.

This works better if you’re starting somewhere the Red Line actually reaches, such as Dubai International Airport or Downtown Dubai.

Metro and bus timings and fares

Both legs of the trip run on the standard RTA Nol card, so have one topped up before you leave. Dubai Outlet Mall’s own site doesn’t list exact fares or timetables for routes 66 and 67, for those, go to rta.ae or call the RTA on 800 9090.

All in, plan for 1.5 to 2 hours door to door, most of it spent on the bus or waiting for one. A taxi covers the same distance in a fraction of that time, so this route makes more sense if you’re keeping costs down than if you’re in a hurry.

Getting there by car, taxi or hotel shuttle

If you’re deciding how to go to Dubai Outlet Mall without relying on public transport, driving, taking a taxi or using the hotel shuttle are the main alternatives.

By car

From central Dubai, Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) leads onto the Dubai–Al Ain Road (Route 66); Al Khail Road and Emirates Road work too, depending on where you’re coming from. Expect around 20 minutes from areas like the World Trade Centre in normal traffic — add extra time if you’re driving during the 8 am to 10 am or 5 pm to 7 pm rush. Parking is free, and the direct route doesn’t pass through a single Salik gate.

By taxi or ride-hailing app

A regular taxi, Careem, or Uber gets you there in about 20 minutes without the hassle of driving yourself. Expect to pay somewhere between AED 50 and AED 90 each way, depending on where you’re starting from and how the traffic looks.

Free hotel shuttle

A number of Dubai hotels are covered by the mall’s own free shuttle service. Ask your concierge whether yours is one of them, or call the mall’s tourism department on +971 4 423 4666 to check.

Dubai Outlet Mall opening hours

Dubai Outlet Mall is open:

Ramadan and public holidays can shift these hours, so it’s worth a quick check before you head out.

Dubai Outlet Mall directory: what’s inside

Dubai Outlet Mall holds more than 1,300 international brands across over 340 stores, with discounts running from 30% up to 90% off (food, electronics, jewellery and medicine aren’t included). Tommy Hilfiger, Burberry, Nike, Adidas, Coach and Valentino are among the bigger names, and the sheer number of fashion and footwear outlets is a big reason the mall keeps coming up as one of the go-to spots for cheap clothes in Dubai.

Families tend to gravitate toward Galaxy Park, the mall’s indoor play area: trampolines, obstacle courses, drift karts, slides, plus a supervised soft play corner on the first floor for younger kids. The complete Dubai Outlet Mall store directory has the full store-by-store list if you’re after something specific.

Dubai Outlet Mall restaurants

There’s a food court plus casual chains like KFC, Burger King, Subway and Piero Pizza & Pasta, a Chuck E. Cheese’s for the kids, and a handful of sit-down restaurants if you’d rather eat properly before heading home.
