Updated: April 6, 2024

■ HEALTHCARE CITY METRO STATION:
Dubai Healthcare City (aka Dubai Health Care City and Healthcare City) is a rapid transit station on the Green Line of the Dubai Metro in Dubai, UAE, serving Dubai Healthcare City. The station opened as part of the Green Line on 9 September 2011. The Green Line was extended beyond this station to connect Al Jadaf and Creek stations on 1 March 2014. The station is close to Wafi City, the Wafi Mall, the Khan Murjan Souk, Creek Park, Dubai Children’s City, and the Dubai Dolphinarium.

■ BURJUMAN METRO STATION:
BurJuman Metro Station formerly Khalid Bin Al Waleed is a rapid transit station serving the Red and Green Lines of the Dubai Metro in Dubai, UAE. It is one of two transfer stations between the two lines, the other being Union. Since it began service, over 15.611 million passengers have used BurJuman station, making it the second-busiest station of the Dubai Metro network. One of the first stations of the Dubai Metro, BurJuman opened as Khalid Bin Al Waleed on 9 September 2009 as part of the initial stretch of the Red Line from Rashidiya to Nakheel Harbour and Towers along with seven other intermediate stations. On 30 December 2012, the station was renamed after the BurJuman shopping centre (located just outside Exit 3 of this station), which had become popularly used despite being unofficial.

BurJuman station is located in the historic centre of Dubai, below the BurJuman shopping centre, after which it is named. Specifically, it lies below the intersection of Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Street and Khalid Bin Al Waleed Road. It is the closest station to a number of consulates, including those to Canada, Egypt, India and the United Kingdom. The station is also close to Al Seef (including a Marine Transport Station on Dubai Creek) and Karama. Along with Union, BurJuman is one of only two interchange stations on the Dubai Metro, giving it an unconventional layout and among the largest in the system. The Red Line travels under Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Street, crossing perpendicularly with the Green Line, which lies below Khalid Bin Al Waleed Road. The Red and Green Lines both utilize two side platforms with two platforms on differing levels. Platform numbers were not assigned, but instead given names according to the direction of the train. This changed in 2020, where platforms in all stations were now numbered.
