Dubai: Jebel Ali Metro station to be renamed as National Paints
Heads up Dubai Metro users: Jebel Ali Metro Station is now changed to National Paints Metro Station, Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) announced on Thursday.
From July and running through the end of October 2025, RTA will begin updating and renaming all relevant external and internal directional signage across Metro stations. The new name will also be reflected across RTA's smart digital systems, public transport applications, and onboard audio announcements prior to and upon arrival at the station.
The metro station on the Red Line is strategically located in one of Dubai's most dynamic and rapidly evolving industrial hubs, Jebel Ali Free Zone. It will carry the name National Paints Metro Station for the next 10 years, RTA noted.
Abdul Mohsen Kalbat, CEO of the RTA's Rail Agency, said: "We are delighted to have National Paints join the Metro Station Naming Rights Initiative. The inclusion of this prestigious global company undoubtedly demonstrates the remarkable success achieved by this initiative, which had attracted diverse companies and establishments from the business sector across the UAE as a whole."
Samer Sayegh, managing director and partner of National Paints, for his part, added: 'We are proud to secure the naming rights of a metro station that stands as a key connector in Dubai's world-class transportation network. This milestone reflects our bold, decade-long commitment to enriching the Emirates' urban landscape through innovative solutions, sustainability, and high-quality products.'
He continued: 'As a company born in 1969 in Amman, Jordan and proudly rooted in Sharjah since 1977, National Paints has long been an integral part of the Emirates' economic and urban transformation. Our presence on the metro reinforces our position as the Middle East's number one coatings brand and deepens our connection to the communities we've proudly served for generations, and those yet to come'.
