hey everyone welcome to another traveling solo log this is solo and today I want to
show you how the Metro is in Dubai it's one of the cheaper methods to get around
the city so if you come to Dubai and want to save money on your transportation I advise go
on the Metro that being said I'm about to go into the metro station over here but first I
have to wear my mask because chronal virus is still strong out here and you know it's
mandatory actually to wear a mask when you're riding on the Metro even in the match even in
the metro station that being said I'm gonna throw my mass a little bit inside so join me
along okay so this is the front entrance of the Metro it's in English and in Arabic you can see
over there and also the entrance is how they label it is you see this one's three so they
label it by numbers and some countries they label it by ABCD so if you ever want to meet
somebody at Metro exit it's gonna be by numbers so let's go inside see keep social distancing
so the Metro I'm at right now the metro station I am you go to the the Metro the to the trains
to the tram they call the they call the train also the Metro here so I'm just going to go up
the escalator and all the metros in Dubai are actually over ground they're not underground
because in London in other countries they're all England in other countries they're actually
so part of it is underground but this all of it over ground it's over ground Metro
see everyone's wearing masks right now okay I'm just about to walk into the main part of the Metro
and you can see just because I put a virus now they're saying wash your hands use sanitizer and
use gloves stop go over 19 it's interesting so this is the main part of the Metro so basically
this is where you can buy tickets or you can ask information there's information booth and also
you buy tickets from there there's information booth buy things from there right now it's closed
and right now I'm about to charge my nol card this is a silver north card you get a gold one
which will make your journey double the price is they have first class over here so no matter
I'll show you upstairs what I'm talking about but this is the most standard card also I'll show you
a list of like different cards you can get over here but I would recommend getting this is the
standard card and this is cheaper than getting one at one time journey ticket so if you come to
Dubai I advise you get the nol card 26 dirhams they take six for the card and 19 they'll give
you 19 for credit that you could use on a metro when you first give it okay so basically I want
to put money on my nol card so this is how you do it this like charge it up so you come to these
tickets machine it's in English in an arabic it shows you the map of metro system and then
years we're gonna put your nol card and here's where you put the cash or coins or he even used a
visa JCB MasterCard union pay so let me click on this click on English regular card here just
that's for my nol card they're actually just gonna read it and then I want to top up where
is top-up card top-up right there and I just select the amounts I'm gonna put 20 dirhams
so now it's gonna now just put in 20 dirhams inside I just put 20 grams inside it's gonna top up just
please don't remove your card transaction complete take your nol card it's kind of empty right now
because it's late right now and then so now where you enter from gets you from the other side hello
hi vlogger your vlogger - oh nice ok so then I'm just gonna tap my card here and then it shows the
balance right over there and that's how I get inside so this is the metro right here there's
two ways to go I'm going to go to I'm gonna go to the Mall of Emirates which is right here
so have to go towards el rasida which is to my left so now I have to go up more
stairs to go on the metro also the metro opens right now from 7 a.m. to 2 midnight so the times
will change because right now score no virus and Dubai is under curfew from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. but
usually usually open up a little bit earlier like around 6 o'clock so you just if you ever do come
to Dubai so make sure you check the timetables this is where you wait for the trains for the
metro and the first two carriages is for women and children only so you cannot up your man you cannot
go on those are you going these ones over here and then on the opposite end I want to show you guys
is the first class is the first class area which can I use it this card you have to use a different
card actually this you have to use the golden nol card if you want to get in the first-class area
there's the Metro it's coming right now I'm gonna try to catch it right now and show you
also the first class there's gonna walk in the first class so you see this area is gold
class just show you real quick I'm not gonna go inside of it this other gold class looks like
that's the inside of the normal class
this other normal class looks like since October 19 so every other seat you can sit down on
it's pretty empty right now because it's nighttime
you see cannot eat or drink that's penalty 100 dirhams I also cannot
chew gum on the train so the Metro is actually pretty clean you can see
and you see also has a map of what stops a house over here this is a beautiful Dubai hope
you guys can see through the window I know it's night time you can see a really nice picture of
Dubai it's a beautiful city and I advise you guys to communal to take the metro there
so you can see the metro here is actually pretty quiet even like if it is really
crowded it's pretty quiet on here and also people they use this on a daily basis so
work or to go to school but the Metro is not it doesn't go around the whole city unfortunately
goes to the main part of the city but it's still developing which is unfortunate for right now but
it's still good and it's actually one of the most advanced Metro because that's actually
drivers it's actually driver lives they don't have a driver on it just something interesting to know
so if you do want to get on the Metro depending where you're on the city you
might have to take a bus to go on the natural and the Metro does go to the
main parts for the main models - pretty much all the main attractions in Dubai
okay just get off the metro and by the way each Metro stuff is like two to three minutes apart
so they're not far from each other tell me about five stops from where I was at and I'll show you
how much it was to ride this short journey like five metro stops so with only three dirhams
four or five metro stops so it's pretty good and if you use the gold car just be double would be
six dirhams to be in the gold cabin which is about the same if you guys saw I've just pretty
much for me it looks the same just a little bit bigger and I'm exiting and I'm going to
the Mall of Emirates so this is basically it I hope you guys like the video so if you
guys have any questions about writing the metro in Dubai just let me know I really appreciate
your feedback and also just like the video and subscribe if you have already right you just hit
that button right over there really appreciate it so I'll catch you guys later bye guys well
