Ras Al Khor is a district of Dubai, 3.6 km from Creek Metro Station.
Ras Al Khor is a defined community in Dubai located to the southeast of the city centre. The area occupies a position close to major arterial roads and is used as a reference point for journeys to Downtown Dubai, Dubai International Airport and other central destinations. The community’s coordinates are 25.19409°N, 55.364167°E.
Ras Al Khor sits within the Dubai emirate and is part of the city’s built-up corridor that links central Dubai with the eastern and southern road network. It is positioned between the Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road axis and urban neighbourhoods closer to Deira and Dubai International Airport. The community is commonly referenced in travel and traffic updates.
Road connections are a defining feature of the area. Recent traffic works have been carried out on Al Warqa’a 1 Street between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Ras Al Khor Road, where a sequence of roundabouts was converted into signalised intersections to improve traffic flow. This underlines the role of Ras Al Khor as a through-route on trips to and from central and eastern parts of Dubai.
Public transport access by metro is available on the Green Line; the nearest station, coded G30, is approximately 3,611 metres from the community centre. That distance places it outside comfortable walking range for most residents, so journeys to the station typically rely on a short drive or local bus and taxi connections.
