Dubai's Hidden Tram Routes

Sarah Mitchell June 11, 2026

I still remember my first tram ride in Dubai on a sunny day, 15th February 2023. So, I'm excited to share with you the lesser-known routes that I've discovered over time. You'll find that the tram route is quite convenient, with a single trip costing around 4 AED.

Dubai Tram Routes

Look, if you're staying near the Dubai Marina area, the tram is a great way to get around. I used to take the tram from Jumeirah Beach Residence to the Dubai Marina metro station all the time. And, it's really affordable - a day pass will cost you around 20 AED.

Monorail to Palm Jumeirah

Here's the thing: the monorail is a fantastic way to get to the Palm Jumeirah. But, it can be a bit pricey — a return ticket costs around 75 AED. Honestly, it's worth it for the views alone. You can also combine your monorail trip with a visit to the Sky Views Dubai for an unforgettable experience.

Tram and Monorail Tourist Tips

So, if you're planning to use the tram and monorail, make sure to buy a Nol card — it'll make your life much easier. You can buy one at any metro station, including the Union metro station. I'd recommend loading around 50 AED to start with, that way you can use it for both the tram and metro.

Combining Tram and Monorail with Other Activities

You can also combine your tram or monorail trip with other activities, like a Premium Marina Dhow Cruise or a visit to the Ski Dubai snow park. Just head to the Dubai Marina and take a short taxi ride to the cruise or ski park.

Practical Tip

So, the next time you're in Dubai, don't be afraid to try out the tram and monorail. You can book tours that include these modes of transport through Roamigo Trips for a hassle-free experience. Just remember to plan your route in advance and you'll be all set for a fun-filled day in Dubai.
