How to Get to IMG Worlds of Adventure by Metro or Bus (2026)

IMG Worlds of Adventure has no Metro station at its entrance, and visitors should not assume a direct RTA bus is operating. The practical public-transport plan is Metro plus taxi; a direct taxi, car or authorised coach is usually easier.

Where is IMG Worlds?

IMG Worlds is in City of Arabia on E311, near Global Village. The official park information lists taxi and private-coach stands outside the entrance and free visitor parking.

Every Metro journey requires a road transfer.

Best Metro and taxi route

Mall of the Emirates

1. Take the Red Line to Mall of the Emirates (R32).
2. Follow signs to the taxi area.
3. Enter IMG Worlds of Adventure as the destination.
4. Allow extra time for E311 traffic.

This is straightforward from Dubai Marina, JLT or western Dubai.

From Downtown Dubai

Travellers already in Downtown can take a taxi from the Dubai Mall area. Using Metro for only part of the route may not save time after walking and transfers.

Important: If an old guide's bus number does not appear in S'hail on your date, do not wait for it.

Is there a bus to IMG Worlds?

The official visitor page highlights taxis, private coaches and cars rather than a regular RTA bus at the entrance. Tour operators and selected hotels may provide coaches, but those require advance booking.

Confirm the pickup point, date, departure, return time, ticket requirement and stroller/accessibility rules in writing.

Taxi and driving

Use the exact park name and confirm the driver is heading to City of Arabia, not Global Village. For the return, follow signs to the official pickup area. Closing-time queues and surge pricing may increase.

Drivers should follow navigation towards E311 and City of Arabia. IMG says free parking and accessible spaces are available; valet or premium services may cost extra.

From common starting points

Dubai Marina or JLT

Take the Red Line to Mall of the Emirates, then taxi. Groups should compare this with a direct taxi.

Deira or Bur Dubai

Use the Red Line towards Expo 2020/Life Pharmacy and leave at Mall of the Emirates, or take a direct taxi. Green Line passengers can change at BurJuman or Union.

Dubai Airport

A direct taxi is normally simplest with luggage. A cheaper but longer route uses the Red Line from terminals 1 or 3 to Mall of the Emirates, then taxi.

Global Village

The attractions are in the same broad area but are not a comfortable walk apart. Use a taxi or confirmed transfer.

Hours, tickets and accessibility

Opening hours, ride maintenance and ticket offers vary. Check the official IMG Worlds website on the travel day. Transport is not included unless a package explicitly says so.

The park provides accessible parking and guest assistance. Confirm specific mobility or ride-access needs directly. Set a family meeting point and keep the return plan separate from the ticket QR code.

Frequently asked questions

What is the nearest Metro station?

There is no station at the park. Mall of the Emirates is a practical taxi-transfer point, but the best option depends on traffic and origin.

Is there a direct public bus?

Do not assume one. Check S'hail; the official park page emphasises taxi, coach and car access.

Does IMG offer a free shuttle?

Some packages or hotels may advertise transfers. They need advance confirmation and are not a universal public service.

Is parking free?

The official park information says free parking is available. Premium or valet services may cost extra.

Can I combine IMG and Global Village?

It is possible by taxi or car, but both need several hours. Check opening schedules and ticket conditions.
