Dubai Metro & Tram
Getting around by metro or tram? You’ll have extra time to travel during the Eid break!
- Dubai Metro will run daily from 5am to 1am (the next day) starting Wednesday, June 4 through Saturday, June 7.
- Dubai Tram will also be in service from 6am to 1am (the next day) on the same days.
Dubai Bus
Here are a few important bus updates for this Eid:
- From June 4 to 8, Bus Route E100 (Al Ghubaiba to Abu Dhabi) will be temporarily suspended.
- Instead, you can use Route E101 from Ibn Battuta Bus Station to Abu Dhabi.
- Route E102 will run directly from Al Jafiliya Bus Station to Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi — skipping Ibn Battuta and Musaffah entirely.
For all other bus schedules, it’s best to check the S’hail app for the most up-to-date info.
We hope everyone enjoy their well deserved break and team Gulf Buzz wishes you Eid Mubarak!
