Metro Moments: Historic Dubai from DXB Terminal 3 to Dubai Mall
If you are planning a Dubai stopover, this is the perfect tour for you. Hop aboard the metro at DXB Airport, and travel in cool comfort to Dubai Mall. Gliding along on the elevated railway, you will see and hear about skyscrapers, fast cars, palm trees and the Emirates.
Listen to the story of Dubai while you ride its metro. You’ll find out how its rapid development began, and chart the course of its growth into the global city you see today.
Most of our journey is on an elevated railway, and you can gaze up from your seat at some of Dubai’s newest, most extravagant towers. But we’ll also pass by some of its oldest buildings, which were once surrounded by desert sands. Along the way, we’ll uncover Dubai’s more distant past, as well as its cultural roots.
The journey from DXB Terminal 3 to the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall takes 24 minutes.
