The green line links major places in both historic and commercial areas. It starts at Etisalat and runs through stations of Al Qusais, Al Nahda, Deira City Centre, and BurJuman, and ends at Creek Station.

There are also two stations, called Union and BurJuman, which allow changing directions to the Red Line, which allows those who use it to travel efficiently between the old areas and the new commercial ones, as well as shortening the time spent on communication and facilitating access to the attractions of Dubai.

The RTA and Dubai Municipality have planned the Green Line stations to serve the high number of passengers during rush hours. The stations have air-conditioned platforms, escalators, lifts, clear signage, and modern facilities, and navigating them is easy for both locals and visitors.
