Oud Metha Bus Station 2026: Routes, Metro & Timings
Oud Metha Bus Station is part of an important public transport cluster in central Dubai serving Oud Metha, Rashid Hospital, Lamcy Plaza, Dubai Healthcare City, Bur Dubai and surrounding areas.

- Oud Metha Metro Bus Stop Terminus;
- Oud Metha Metro Station Terminus;
