UAE Exchange (Arabic: مركز الإمارات العربية المتحدة للصرافة; previously called Jebel Ali^[1][2]) is a rapid transit station on the Red Line of the Dubai Metro in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

History[]

The station was inaugurated in March 2011 and was expected to handle over 4,000 passengers daily. It is the last stop on the Red Line until June 1, 2021, and has a total handling capacity of 11,000 passengers per direction. It is the only metro station that is built on the ground, and is not elevated or underground.^[3]

The station was previously called Jebel Ali, before it was renamed in June 2015 to UAE Exchange following an agreement between Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and UAE Exchange. The naming agreement was inked as part of RTA's rebranding strategy.^[1]

The station is located to another auxiliary depot used by the Dubai Metro. This is the second depot in Dubai Metro apart from the major depot at Rashidiya located near the Centrepoint Station, the last station on the other side of the Red Line and another depot located near the Etisalat metro station at the northern terminus of the Green Line.

Location[]

The station is located in Jebel Ali, and mainly serves employees working and living in the industrial zone of Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority (JAFZA).
