What’s Inside Dubai Metro Trains?
There are three different types of cabins (seating area) inside Dubai Metro Trains. Out of them, one cabin is dedicated to women & children, while other two cabins are called Gold Class Cabin and General/Standard Cabin.

The Gold Class Cabin has a separate high speed WiFi than General Class. It also provides a panoramic view of the track from the front. In addition, there is luggage storage space where you can put your bag/suitcase, if any.
