While much of the city is gradually returning to normalcy, some Dubai Metro stations remain temporarily closed, disrupting travel plans for commuters across the city.
Despite concerted efforts by the Roads and Transportation Authority (RTA), four stations along the Red Line – Onpassive, Equiti, Mashreq, and Energy – are still inaccessible to commuters. Shuttle buses have been deployed to assist passengers heading to these stations, providing alternative transportation options amid the closures.
In a bid to keep the public informed, the RTA has been actively communicating updates and station openings through their official social media channels. Passengers are urged to adhere to directional signs and cooperate with Dubai Metro and RTA staff as recovery efforts continue.

Check the current route of the #DubaiMetro Red Line. Please note that shuttle buses are available to ensure access to the affected stations. Kindly cooperate with station staff and adhere to guidance signs for your convenience. Thank you for your understanding.… pic.twitter.com/5X6tuswtDH

While the Red Line grapples with closures, Dubai Metro services on the Green Line remain fully operational in both directions, offering commuters a viable alternative for their daily commute.
The recent weather phenomenon, characterized by the heaviest rainfall in 75 years, has left a significant impact on the region. According to the National Centre of Meteorology, the unprecedented rainfall surpassed any previous records dating back to 1949. With the most rainfall ever recorded in a 24-hour period, the effects of the weather event are still being felt across the UAE.
As the city works towards full recovery, authorities are closely monitoring the situation and providing timely updates to ensure the safety and convenience of all commuters. While challenges persist, Dubai Metro remains resilient, navigating through adversity to keep the city moving forward. Stay tuned for further updates as the recovery process unfolds.

Barack and Michelle Obama are set to launch a new podcast series focusing on Muslim stories.
Entitled Higher Ground: Tell Them, I Am, the power couple’s podcast sheds light on their journey on being of Muslim faith. It will be released every weekday during Ramadan from April 12, 2021 onwards.

During the show, Michelle and Barack will host a series of interviews with renowned American Muslim activists, artists performers, athletes and actors to bring out their stories in the open, while being published on Spotify through their company Higher Ground Productions. First launched in May 2019, the Obamas are ready to make an impact with inspiring stories, as shown in their previous episodes with novelist G Willow Wilson, comedian Maz Jobrani and many more.
Hosted by the Pakistani-American Misha Euceph, she says, “The stories are universal and the guests are all Muslim. The ultimate goal is for people to feel something, for them to fall in love with the people they’re listening to without ever thinking about who they are and what they look like.”

The versatile Michelle Obama is also all set to launch her own cooking show for kids entitles Waffles and Mochi which explores the wonders of food and culture while prepping meals with freshly curated ingredients as they travel the world with a snippet of the trailer below as it’s ready to go live on March 16 on Netflix:
