Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall (Arabic: برج خليفة / دبي مول; Arabic pronunciation: [burdʒ xaˈliːfa duˈbajː mawl]) is a rapid transit station on the Red Line of the Dubai Metro in Dubai. It is one of the busiest stations of the Dubai Metro, with over 3.180 million passengers in 2011.[1][2]
The first station to open after the system's initial opening, Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall saw service on 4 January 2010. The station’s opening coincided with the opening of Burj Khalifa.[3] On 26 December 2012, a new walkway directly connecting the station to the Dubai Mall opened, eliminating the need for a bus trip to get to the mall.[4]
On 16 April 2024, the station closed due to bad weather and reopened the next day, 17 April 2024.
Even with the opening of the walkway, the location of the station is not particularly convenient for visitors wishing to go up the Burj Khalifa, as the walk along the walkway and through the mall to the Burj Khalifa is over a mile.
In 2025, RTA announced a new expansion of the Burj Khalifa-Dubai Mall station that will expand the station’s area and its hourly capacity. The project will be completed by Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), in collaboration with Emaar Properties to accommodate growing passenger demand, particularly during the New Year's Eve celebrations. The project will also see enhancements to optimise passenger movement.[5]
Location
Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station is located on the southern side of the interchange between Sheikh Zayed Road, Financial Centre Road and Al Safa St. Directly to the east is the large Downtown Dubai development, containing the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, and the Dubai Mall, after which the station is named. It is the closest station to a number of major attractions, including The Dubai Fountain and the Address Downtown.
