Table of content

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched Phase Two of its marine station enhancement project, upgrading five key locations: Al Fahidi, Baniyas, Al Seef, Sheikh Zayed Road, and Bluewaters.

This transformation aims to offer a modern, air-conditioned, and inclusive waiting experience that reflects Dubai’s maritime heritage and supports seamless connectivity.

Comfortable, Smart, and Heritage-Inspired Design

The upgraded stations will feature:

  1. air-conditioned waiting areas,

  2. accessible zones for People of Determination,

  3. advanced safety features including surveillance and fire alarm systems.

Architectural inspiration comes from Dubai’s traditional wooden abras, blending cultural legacy with a sleek, urban aesthetic that fits today’s smart city vision.

Enhanced Connectivity for Residents and Visitors

These stations are more than stops — they’re hubs:

  1. offering direct links to residential communities and major developments,

  2. integrated with metro, tram, and bus networks,

  3. helping reduce private car usage and promote sustainable urban mobility.

The project directly supports Dubai’s long-term strategy to deliver world-class public transport experiences for residents, tourists, and investors alike.

Designed for Everyone

The RTA has implemented Dubai Universal Design Code standards in every upgrade:

  1. smooth pathways and ramps,

  2. accessible layouts for all passengers,

  3. inclusive design focused on comfort and dignity.

This shows Dubai’s commitment to accessibility as a cornerstone of urban development.

What This Means for Real Estate

Where infrastructure improves, real estate value follows. Marine stations near key hubs like Bluewaters, Al Seef, and Sheikh Zayed Road are becoming even more attractive to:

  1. long-term investors,

  2. short-term rental hosts,

  3. and residents looking for easy access to Dubai’s coastline and transport grid.

This kind of upgrade enhances connectivity, lifestyle, and ROI potential.
