Dubai: Dubai Metro will operate for an extra two hours — until 3am — on two consecutive Fridays, August 20 and August 27, to ensure passenger comfort in anticipation of increased passenger traffic at Dubai International Airport, as families are expected to return to the UAE after the summer holidays.

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) tweeted: For all passengers arriving at Dubai International Airport, #DubaiMetro will operate for 2 extra hours on Friday, August 20th from 10 AM until 3 AM (next day), and August 27th from 10 AM until 3 AM (next day) for your comfort.”
