The Dubai Metro Red Line takes you from the city of Dubai to the entrance of Expo 2020. Metro stations have tactile paving to facilitate access for blind or low-vision passengers. All stations have wheelchair access either via step-free routes or lifts.

There is designated seating for those less able to stand and spaces for wheelchairs on all Metro trains.

Station announcements are made both visually and audibly in Arabic and English.

Get to and from the Expo 2020 site via a dedicated public bus service: Expo Rider. It’s free of charge for Expo 2020 visitors and you can catch it from different locations in Dubai and other emirates. Many of these buses have low floors and are capable of lowering to provide ramped access. Aisle widths enable a wheelchair to move down the bus and there are spaces for two wheelchairs.

Bus stop announcements are made both visually and audibly in Arabic and English.

Just remember where it drops you off as you’ll have to take the return trip from the same gate! 

Alternatively, you may also choose to take one of RTA’s standard buses for a fee.

Dubai’s taxis are easily identified by their cream exterior colour (the colour of the roof signifies which company operates them). Taxis can be booked by phone.
