Getting Around
Public Transportation in Naïa Island
Seamless Connectivity
While Naïa Island doesn’t yet have a Metro station on-site, residents can use the Dubai Metro Red and Green Lines accessible from nearby areas. The Nol card system applies, allowing seamless transfers.
Dubai has an extensive RTA bus network serving almost every major area. Naïa Island residents will likely have feeder bus services that link to metro / tram stations, shopping hubs, or major road arteries.
These will be essential for first-mile/last-mile, especially when public transit isn’t directly adjacent. Taxis and services like Careem / Uber are reliable and ubiquitous around Dubai.
Given the island’s waterfront location, water transport options (such as water taxis, boats, or marine RTA services) may play a part in future connectivity. The RTA supports marine transport modes as part of its integrated transport plan.
