Al Safa (Arabic: الصفا; formerly Noor Bank) is a rapid transit station on the Red Line[1][2] of the Dubai Metro in Dubai, UAE, serving Al Quoz and surrounding areas.[3] The station is named after the nearby Al Safa.

The station, originally planned as "Al Quoz", opened as part of the Red Line on 15 May 2010 as "Noor Bank", and was renamed to "Al Safa" in November 2020.[4] It is located on the Sheikh Zayed Road near the major junction with Al Manara Street.[5] Nearby are Al Quoz Bus Station, Kite Beach, Oasis Mall, and the Times Square Centre.[4] As well as Al Quoz, surrounding neighbourhoods include the eponymous Al Safa itself and Umm Suqeim. The station is close to a number of bus routes.[6]
