Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced that the Dubai Metro Red Line and Green Line will run from 3:00 am to 12:00 am on Sunday, November 10, 2024. This extension aims to accommodate participants of the Dubai Ride, the region’s largest community cycling event, which returns for its fifth edition.
The event invites people of all ages and abilities to cycle through Dubai, with routes opening at 5:00 am. Cyclists will begin at 6:15 am and finish by 8:00 am, enjoying a 12km stretch that includes high-speed cycling on Sheikh Zayed Road.
To participate, cyclists must maintain a minimum speed of 30km/h and use bikes suitable for sustaining this speed while adhering to the directions provided by event marshals.
Participants will also benefit from free bike rentals, thanks to a partnership between Careem and Dubai’s RTA.
