Ibn Battuta (Arabic: ابن بطوطة) is a rapid transit station on the Red Line[1] [2] of the Dubai Metro in Dubai, UAE, serving Jebel Ali and surrounding areas.[3] The station is named after the nearby Ibn Battuta Mall.

The station opened as part of the Red Line on 30 April 2010.[4]

Ibn Battuta station is located on the Sheikh Zayed Road between major junctions with the D59 and D591 roads.[5] Nearby are the Ibn Battuta Mall, the Jebel Ali Recreation Club, and the IBN Battuta Bus Station immediately adjacent to the station. Surrounding communities include Jabal Ali 1 and Jabal Ali 2. The station is close to a number of bus routes.[6]

During January 2018 to April 2019, the Red Line between the DMCC and Ibn Battuta stations was closed for an extension to the Dubai Metro system.[7]
