Al Fahidi (Arabic: الفهيدي, Arabic pronunciation: [alfaˈhidi]) is a rapid transit station on the Green Line of the Dubai Metro in Dubai.
Location
Located at the edge of the historic core of Dubai, Al Fahidi station lies underneath the intersection of Khalid bin Waleed Road and Al Mankhool Road. Nearby attractions include the Grand Mosque, the Dubai Museum, Creekside Park and numerous hotels.[1]
History
Al Fahidi station opened along with the initial stretch of the Green Line on 9 September 2011, with trains running from Dubai Healthcare City to Etisalat.[2] In December 2012, the RTA announced that Al Fahidi saw the highest ridership of all Green Line stations since opening in 2011, with 5.232 million passengers.[3]
Station layout
As with other stations in Dubai's historic centre, Al Fahidi is an underground station, with tracks and platforms situated below Kalid bin Waleed Road. There are two side platforms and two tracks, with access to the station from all four corners of Khalid bin Waleed Road's intersection with Al Mankhool Road. Al Fahidi's color scheme is characterised by the use of bright red tiles, symbolising the element of fire; other Dubai Metro stations take inspiration from fire as well as air, water and earth.
