Explore Dubai Effortlessly with Nol Card's New Monthly and Annual Travel Passes
Do you frequently use the Dubai Metro? If so, you might be familiar with the various Nol card options available in the city. These cards range from personalised to single-use ones, each designed for different needs. There are also concessions for students and senior citizens.
Another option is the travel pass, which can be loaded onto a Nol card and is based on a zonal structure. This pass allows unlimited travel on public transport lines like buses, metro, and tram, excluding intercity buses, seasonal buses, Dubai taxis, and marine transport vessels.

Nol Card Application Methods
You can apply for a Nol card through three methods:
- Ticker vending machines
- Ticker office machines
- Nol Pay applications
An important point to note is that anonymous Nol card holders can only purchase a 7-day travel pass. They are not eligible for the 30-day, 90-day or annual passes.
Other Things to Keep in Mind
If you travel outside your designated zone with a travel pass, regular travel fees will apply. Additionally, this pass cannot be used on bus route 110 between Al Safa Bus Terminus and Al Quoz Creative Zone as it operates with a flat rate of Dhs2 and is considered an intercity bus.
The variety of Nol cards and travel passes ensures that there is an option suitable for everyone’s needs. Whether you are a student or a senior citizen or just need a convenient way to get around Dubai's public transport system.
