Dubai Metro Blue Line: the 5 areas getting a first station

The Dubai Metro Blue Line opens on 9 September 2029, and these five areas get their first metro station: Dubai Creek Harbour, International City, Dubai Silicon Oasis, Mirdif and Dubai Festival City. The line runs about 30 km with 14 stations, and all five areas have no metro today.

The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) forecasts that land and property values near stations could rise by up to 25%. Here is what homes cost in each area now.

What do homes cost along the Blue Line?

Average apartment price per sq ft from Dubai Land Department sales, July to September 2026, with the same period of 2023 for comparison, and the average new 1-bed lease:

Area	Jul-Sep 2023	Jul-Sep 2026	Change	New 1-bed lease a year
Creek Harbour	AED 2,174	AED 2,530	+16%	AED 92,021
Festival City	AED 1,165	AED 1,332	+14%	AED 95,984
Silicon Oasis	AED 721	AED 1,206	+67%	AED 59,094
Mirdif	AED 997	AED 1,184	+19%	AED 61,819
International City	AED 598	AED 907	+52%	AED 44,847

Prices rose across Dubai in the same period, so the Blue Line is not the only reason for these gains. Averages hide big differences between buildings, so check the walk to your station before you buy.

Which stops are on the line?

The key stops include Creek and Al Jaddaf, Festival City, Creek Harbour, Ras Al Khor, International City, Silicon Oasis, Academic City, Centrepoint, Mirdif and Al Warqa. The line crosses Dubai Creek on a 1.3 km bridge, and the Mirdif branch connects to the Red Line at Centrepoint. The five areas in this article are about 10 to 25 minutes apart on the route.
