Board the Red Line towards Centrepoint and ride twenty-one stops to BurJuman. Change across the platform to the Green Line towards Creek, with no need to tap your Nol card again, then ride two stops to Dubai Healthcare City.
23 stops, 1 change at BurJuman. The line colour shows which train you are on at each point.
For one or two people, the Metro wins on cost and predictability. For a family with luggage, or in a hurry, a taxi is door to door and skips the walk.
| Option | Cost | Time | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metro | AED 7.5 (Silver Nol) | ~55 min | Cheapest, no traffic |
| Taxi | AED 75 to 110 | 31 to 46 min | Door to door, luggage, families |
This is one of the longer cross-network trips: the Route 2020 branch tail all the way up to BurJuman, then a cross-platform change onto the Green Line. Board at the back of the northbound train at DIP to be closest to the BurJuman cross-platform on arrival. The change is on the same level, no second tap. AED 7.50 covers the whole trip.
Dubai Healthcare City station serves the DHCC free zone, the specialist clinic cluster of over 4,000 licensed clinics, and the covered walkway to AYA Universe at Wafi City Mall.

AYA Universe at Wafi City Mall is a 12-zone immersive digital art experience.
Yes, once. Take the Red Line from DIP (R74) north 21 stops to BurJuman (R19), then change across the platform to the Green Line towards Creek and ride two stops to Dubai Healthcare City (G28). The change is on the same level, no second Nol card tap.
The trip crosses the maximum three fare zones, so the fare lands in the top Nol band. On a Silver Nol card it is AED 7.50, on a Gold Nol card AED 15, on a Blue personal card AED 7.50, and on a single-use Red ticket AED 8.50 plus AED 2 to buy the ticket itself.
About 55 minutes from platform to platform, including the cross-platform change at BurJuman and the short waits between stations. It is one of the longer single-tap trips on the network.
Yes. BurJuman is a Green and Red Line interchange with cross-platform transfer on the same level. The signs point at both line colours and the walk between platforms takes under a minute. No second tap, no second fare.
Yes. DIP and BurJuman are fully step-free, and Dubai Healthcare City has lifts to and from the platform. The Red and Green Line trains have wide doors. Board at the ends of the platforms to be closest to the exits.
No, much cheaper on the Metro. A taxi from DIP to DHCC is around AED 75 to 110 and 31 to 46 minutes depending on traffic, against AED 7.50 on the Metro. The taxi is faster door-to-door but the Metro saves about 90 per cent of the fare.
Weekday morning peak northbound as commuters and hospital staff head from DIP residential clusters into central Dubai. Evening return peak fills the southbound direction.
The Route 2020 branch closes earlier than the Red Line trunk. The last northbound train from DIP towards Centrepoint runs about 11:54 PM Sunday to Thursday. After that, a taxi is the only option.
