Tickets
Nol cards work across metro, tram, and buses. Off-peak trains are quieter; keep 15–20 minutes buffer for transfers and the marina walk.
Option 2 — Metro & Tram (Fast and Affordable)
Red Line → Tram
Use Sobha Realty (Red Line) for Dubai Marina, or DMCC (Red Line) on the JLT side. Transfer to the Dubai Tram and ride to Mina Seyahi for Dubai Harbour.
Wayfinding
Inside the Harbour, follow signs for Yacht Club / Gate 7-BA near L’Amo Bistro. Allow extra time for marina gates and security paths.
Good to Know
Tram doors are level with platforms (easy with strollers). During events, crowd flows may be redirected—follow on-site staff guidance.
Option 3 — Buses & Scenic Walks
RTA buses run along JBR/Marina and Media City corridors. Services such as 8 and 84 serve stops near Mina Seyahi / Dubai Media City. From there, walk toward Dubai Harbour and follow signage to the Yacht Club.
- Plan buffer: Traffic along the beachfront can slow buses at peak times—aim for an earlier arrival slot.
- Hydration: Paths are open and sunny—carry water and sun protection.
