Thanks for informing Jo 7 days ka multiple card hai wo hum bus me bhi use kar sakte hai . Ek jagha se dusri jagha job ke liye jaana ho Please reply 🙏🏽

Hope you are referring to 7 days Pass, yes, you can travel in Metro, Bus, multiple times in a day.

Which card is best for 10 days Dubai visit including Monorail and Trams? Also, out of 10 days, 1 day is Abu Dhabi visit so that day no Metro traveling so if I buy 7 days pass, will if be still valid or 7 days pass has some entry or expiry date? Thank you for replying

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

Yes, 7 day pass has start & end date. When you purchase pass at kiosk machine, you need to enter start & end date. Metro, Bus & Trams are included in 7 day pass but Monorail which runs at Palm Jumeriah is not included in any pass.

Hello sir..mujhe Abu baker siddique metro station se Al ras metro station tak Kitna charge honga.. monthly rate..?? daily up down..I am staying in Abu baker and my work in alras.

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

Hi Ameer, both stations are same Zone i.e. Zone 5, for single ticket/ride it will cost AED 3, so for return it will cost AED 6. The price for monthly pass is AED 140 which means for per day it will cost you AED 4.70 (AED 140/7 = 4.70)...If you will be working for more than 23 days in a month, then it is better to buy monthly pass. Hope this helps.

[@ZeeshanAli-iy4pb]

How much top up is required if i need to travel with my family (wife + kid) ? For 5 days in multiple zones

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

The max charge for per Trip is AED 7.50, so for return AED 15 per person per day. I would suggest to top up at least for AED 60 for per person. In anywise you can top up Nol card at any metro station. If money is left, then you can use that Money to pay bills in Restaurant or Taxi.

[@ZeeshanAli-iy4pb]

Thankyou 💙

[@jweego]

Hi! If I take 2 zone 7 day pass and for eg I go to adcb to shobha reality. So I get out at dubai mall and re enter from dubai mall to shobha reality will this 7 day 2 zone pass work?

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

Yes, if you buy 2 adjacent zones pass, in your case Zone 6 to Zone 2, then you can travel unlimited times between these 2 zone.

[@tejbircheema]

7 days nol card tram m. chalta hai, for palm Jumeirah

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

No, Nol card doesn't work in Mono rail which runs on Palm Jumeirah. You need to buy separate ticket for mono rails which runs on Palm Jumeriah route.

[@samroozabbas6839]

Sorry, Nol card can use on Monorail? If yes, then how much balance should have for return or unlimited 24 hours travel? On Nol silver card??thx

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

Hi, Sorry, we cannot use Nol card in Monorail. We can only use for Metro, Tram, Busses & some water Taxi. For monorail which runs between Palm Jumeriah and Atlantis cost between AED 15 to AED 30 for return trip...Personally, I would suggest to take monorail until Pointee, this station is second last station, just before Atlantis & cost AED 15....but if you go until Atlantis, then ticket will cost AED 30.....for best view go upto pointee only. Hope this helps.

[@arman3736-y8x]

kya ek card se do log use kar sakte hai alag alag time per ? Jaise ki agar mere paas unlimited ride kaa card hai aur mai use apne dost ko dena chahu to kya woh bhi free use kar sakte hai ?

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

As far as I know multiple people can use same card at different timings…I don’t think there is any identity verification at time of buying and tapping card

[@Dheeraj.Shetty]

Thank you for making such detailed video! I have few questions and your answers would be helpful. I am only staying in dubai for 5 days. Is unlimited silver nol card worth for me or keeping a silver card with a limited balance? Also if i have to travel to all the zones, can i just recharge 50 or 60 AED and travel all zones or is it mandatory to recharge 110 AED?

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

Hi, the unlimited pass is minimum 7 days, but if you are staying only for 5 days, then I would suggest NOT to buy unlimited travel pass....Top up Nol Card with AED 30 to 40, you can top up more if require. Personally, in morning I was taking Metro, however while coming back in night I was taking Taxi.

[@sathya-enjoy_lifetothefullest]

can we buy the 1 week unlimited silver card from airport dubai metro station in terminal 3? please confirm as i will be travelling next week . Also we can top up the card with additional money so that it can be used for taxi later on .

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

Yes, you can buy at Airport as well. But first you need to buy Nol Silver card for AED 25 from counter. You can buy card from Airport as well. The card will have balance of AED 19. Then go to automatic machine, add balance/top up card. Now you can buy one week unlimited pass as per your require Zone. If you are traveling within that Zone, then it will be free, but if you’re traveling in other Zone. Then money will be deducted from your NOL card, hence keep atleast AED 7.5 balance in card, if you are not buying all zones. And yes, you can keep/ add extra money in Nol card and can use it for taxi. But generally taxi accepts cash.

[@WaqasKhan-fm1nk]

what is the validity of the nol silver card if it is valid for one year so what will be the price of the card other question is can we recharge nol card from banking or other paying app??

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

The validity of Nol card is 5 years. If you are going as a tourist, better recharge at automatic machine available at all metro using cash.

[@faisalimam2636]

Opening and closing timing of metro and can we use this card for buses also

[@DheerajVerma143]

mono rail is also covered in a weekly gold pass?

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

Hope you are referring to Mono rails which runs on Palm Jumeria route. As far as I know we cannot use any Nol card on this mono rail. We need to buy separate ticket for mono rail.

[@vbhvprksh]

You showed us how to do the top up . But please let us know how to get that silver card as well

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

You can buy Nol Silver card from any metro station including airport metro station. All stations have dedicated counter for sale of Nol cards.

Terminal 1 to Dubai Mall price...? Mere ko 5 or 6 zone me travel Krna hai vo bhi 4 time ke liye konsa best rehega please reply bro...?

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

Sorry for late reply, travel between 2 Adjacent Zones will cost AED 5 for per journey. if you are travelling 4 times then total cost would be AED 20. Personally I would suggest to buy Nol Silver Card and top up as and when require, but if you are travelling all 7 days, 4 times in a day, then buy 7 day unlimited pass which will cost AED 80.

[@adamputh1090]

What happens if we buy a monthly pass of 1 zone and travel to another zone a few times?

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

Hi, you will not be able to go out of any other Zone, e.g. lets you have boarded metro from Zone 1 and getting down at Zone 2 metro station, while existing at Zone 2, the doors will not open when you punch Nol card. Then in such case, you need to contact customer service and they will ask you to pay normal fare from Zone 1 to Zone 2. Hope this helps.

[@hamzahfarhan3662]

For tram do i have to maintain 7.5 balance only while one way or two ways?

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

Yes, we need to maintain AED 7.5 balance in Nol card for both ways….if balance is less than 7.5, you cannot take metro and for Tram system will show as low balance when you will punch your card at Tram station.

[@hamzahfarhan3662]

Is that rule applicable on red ticket also?

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

No Minimum Balance rule is not applicable for RED Ticket, because there is no balance option in Red Ticket. The Price for Red Ticket is AED 2. After buying Red Ticket, you need to top up number of journeys e.g. if you want to travel from Burjman Metro Station to Palm Jumeirah Tram via Shobha Reality Metro, and assume total fare for entire journey is AED 7.5, then you need to top journey and pay money accordingly. You can top up 10 journeys in Red Ticket ticket, but you cannot top-up any balance in Red Ticket. Hope this helps.

Thanks alot for clarification 🌟

[@Stark_45]

Hii can i use gpay to buy tickets or nol cards?

[@chayanshah8614]

1 nil card par 3 parson use kar sakte ha

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

As far as I know only one person is allowed per Nol card. So you need to buy 3 Nol cards. Or you can buy red ticket if you are going to use metro only for 1 to 2 times

[@prateekwalia1898]

Pay per ride or monthly pass which is better if someone use metro often for job?

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

As per my calculation, if you are travelling for more than 30 times in a month, means more than 15 Days, then Monthly Pass is better.

[@khetsingh3954]

Hello, we are 3 persons and we are planning to buy 3 Gold Cards with 7 days travel pass, I am confused with 7 AED minimum balance, what does it mean when you already bought a unlimited pass and paid for it? Will they deduct fees even after paying for travel pass?

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

Hello, once you buy any unlimited pass, then there is NO need to keep any minimum balance in card....However if you travel outside of purchased Zone then you need to keep AED 7.5 minimum balance. E.g., you bought Zone1 unlimited pass, but you crossed Zone 1 and travelled to other Zones, then you need to keep minimum AED 7.5 balance.

Hi, can we buy 24 hr metro pass without buying any nol card and can it be used in buses and trams?

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

Hi Dhruv, sorry I am not aware of 24hrs metro pass. As far as I Know, we can buy metro pass for 7, 30, 90 & 365 days.Even if they have any 24hrs metro pass, I think you will still need to buy Nol Silver Card. Regarding Bus & Trams, With your nol card you can travel on Dubai's Metro, Buses and Water Buses which have stations located at different zones. Depending on the number of zones you travel, the fare will be calculated.During your journey you can make transfers across Bus and Metro.

[@kiransaini7767]

Very helpful video......we are coming for 9 days which card is suitable for us

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

If you are going to travel totally in Metro, Trams then you can go for 7 Days Unlimited Pass which cost AED 110 for all Zones. For remaining 2 days, 1 day you can go for Desert Safari, here you will not need to Metro because of majority of Desert Safari have hotel pick up & drop, and remaining 1 day you can go for shopping, here you can use Metro by paying pay per ride which can be between AED 3 to AED 7.5, depending where you are travelling. Personally, I did not bought 7 Day Pass, instead I was using Pay Per Ride, because morning I was taking Metro, but while coming back in evening I was using taxi. My hotel was around 10 mins walking from Metro station, and generally all hotel are around 10-15 mins walking distance from Metro, so after tiring day most probably you will use taxi, specially if you are travelling with family or more than 2 people. If I compare Metro v/s Taxi, for 3 people the metro can cost anywhere between AED 9 (3 x 3 ) to AED 22.5 (7.5 x3), whereas the taxi cost around AED 35 to 40, for similar distance, considering efforts & travel time, because Metro can take 1 hour to 1 hour 15 mins, whereas Taxi will take 20 mins, it would be better to travel in Taxi while coming from tiring day. Hope this helps.

Hi Kiran, yes you can take Dubai Metro from Terminal 1 & Terminal 3. Also, you can buy NOL Card at Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 Metro Station.There 2 lines in Dubai Metro, Red Line & Green Line. The Red line comes at Terminal 1 & Terminal 3. Both lines connect at Union Stations which is only 4 stops from Airport. So if your hotel is near Green Line Metro, then you can change from Red to Green line at Union Station.

Does it include unlimited bus rides also ??

[@travellingtipsbysunny4142]

I didn't used buses but as per their website Buses are also included, below are details for your reference, "Your journey can be made using different modes of transport which are located in different zones. At the end of your journey, you will be charged according to the total number of zones you have passed. Enabling complete end-to-end journeys, transfers across different modes of transport have been made possible, however travelling between two different modes of transport must be done within 30 minutes. You can travel on metro then take a bus to reach your final destination. After you check-out from the metro station, you will have 30 minutes to check-in on a bus. Having done this on time, your metro and bus trips will be charged as a single journey (you will be charged based on the total number of zones passed in the 2 trips combined)."
