Designed with a nod to the traditional wooden abras that have sailed Dubai's waters for decades, you'll spot each of the stations by its distinctive teak wood exterior. Linking to locations from Marina Mall to Dubai Metro and tram stations, five more marine stations are now set to be refurbished. (Credit: RTA) Khalaf Balghazooz Al Zarooni, Director of Marine Transport at RTA's Public Transport Agency, said: 'This step reflects RTA's commitment to implementing all necessary measures to uphold the highest standards of safety and security for marine transport users. The upgraded stations have been equipped with advanced security systems, including surveillance cameras and fire alarm devices. 'The next phase of the project will include the development of five additional stations, which will be delivered in line with the high standards established during the first phase. These stations were selected based on growing demand and the strategic significance of their locations.' 'This plan forms part of RTA's master plan to develop Dubai's marine transport infrastructure and raise the standard of services delivered. 'It aligns with the vision of the Government of Dubai to offer world-class services to citizens, residents, and visitors while positioning the emirate's status as a leading global tourism destination.'
