The Green Line is one of the two lines on the Dubai Metro (the other is the Red Line). It opened in September 2011.
The line runs from Etisalat Metro Station in Al Qusais to Creek Metro Station in Al Jaddaf. It passes through the densely populated areas of Deira and Bur Dubai.
There are 20 stations on the Green Line. There are two transfer stations where passengers can transfer to the Red Line; Union and BurJuman (formerly Khalid Bin Al Waleed). 5 miles of the line (8 statons between Abu Baker Al Siddique and Oud Metha) is underground.
Drivers can park their cars at the park and ride facility at Etisalat Metro Station. There are spaces for around 2,300 cars. Parking is free for Metro passengers.
Al Jadaf Marine Transport Station is situated near Creek Metro Station (the southern terminus of the Green Line). Abras leave from here and cross the Dubai Creek for Dubai Festival City.
Timings
Trains run every 4 minutes during peak hours and every 7 minutes at other times.
Timings for the Green Line are Thursday 5.30 am to 1 am, Friday 10 am to 1 am, and Saturday through Wednesday 5.30 am until midnight.
The Friday timetable for Green Line trains was changed at the beginning of October 2015. Prior to this, trains started running at 1 pm on Friday. The start time for other days was brought forward in November 2017.

How to get to Gold Souk from Dubai Mall via Metro?

Take the Red Line from Dubai Metro to BurJuman. Change to the Green Line and get off at Al Ras.
Natalie says
We’re going to be staying in an apartment at the Dubai Marina. Will we need to use the Green Line to travel to the Gold Souk?
Editor says
Yes, if you want to travel by Metro. You will need to get on the Red Line at Dubai Marina Metro Station (though Jumeirah Lakes Towers could be closer depending on exactly where you are staying). Get the train going towards Rashidiya but you will need to change to the Green Line at BurJuman Metro Station. For the Gold Souk you can get off at Al Ras Metro Station or Palm Deira Metro Station.
Editor says
Al Jadaf and Creek stations opened in February 2014. All stations on the Green Line are now operational.
