Jumeirah Lakes Towers (Dubai Metro)


Jumeirah Lakes Towers is a rapid transit station on the Red Line of the Dubai Metro in Dubai. It opened on 15 October 2010 along with four other intermediate stations on the Red Line. Current name of the station is DMCC.
Until 2019, the station is the western terminus for trains from Rashidiya. This is due to the suspension of the Red Line between Jumeirah Lakes Towers and Ibn Batutta stations to enable the layout at the Nakheel Harbour & Tower to accommodate the Expo 2020 extension. A crossover to the west of the station is facilitating the reversal of trains.

Location

Despite its name, Jumeirah Lakes Towers station is situated at the southern end of both the Jumeirah Lakes Towers and Dubai Marina developments, the former to the east and the latter to the west of the station. It is the closest Metro stop to many well-known buildings, including Almas Tower.

Station layout

Jumeirah Lakes Towers station lies on a viaduct paralleling the eastern side of Sheikh Zayed Road. It is characterised as a type 2 elevated station, indicating that it utilises a side platform setup with two tracks and an elevated concourse between street and platform level. Pedestrian access is aided by skybridges across Sheikh Zayed Road, with entrances near Indigo Tower to the east and Horizon Tower to the left.
