Dubai Metro Timings Extended for 'Emirates Loves Pakistan Event'

Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) will extend metro service until 2 a.m. on Monday, August 11, one hour later than its usual schedule.

This adjustment aims to accommodate the “Emirates Loves Pakistan” celebration, marking Pakistan’s 78th Independence Day, expected to draw over 60,000 attendees at Expo City Dubai.

The event, organised by Emirates Loves Pakistan in collaboration with the Pakistan Association in Dubai and supported by Dubai Police, promises an evening rich in Pakistani culture, arts, and folklore. Highlights include vibrant performances by Sahir Ali Bagga and Natasha Baig, exhibitions, and musical acts that celebrate the ties between the UAE and Pakistan.

Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan and UAE ambassador Faisal Niaz Tirmizi will attend the event. 

To ensure seamless transportation for all guests, a large fleet of taxis will also remain available throughout the event, complementing the metro’s extended schedule.

This strategic transport arrangement reflects Dubai’s commitment to supporting cultural exchange and easing mobility during high-attendance events, reinforcing the city’s reputation for hosting inclusive and well-coordinated celebrations.
