C18 Bus Route Dubai: Oud Metha to Sheikh Rashid Colony
Dear All, C18 Bus Route Dubai is a community connector linking Oud Metha Bus Station with the residential Sheikh Rashid Colony area, passing through Al Karama, the wider Deira district, and the Al Nahda Metro corridor along the way. It’s a practical, if lesser-known, route for reaching quieter residential pockets that the main tourist routes skip.
Oud Metha itself is a well-established mixed residential and commercial neighborhood known for schools, hospitals, and Lamcy Plaza, while Sheikh Rashid Colony offers a calmer, low-rise residential terminus near the airport free zone side of the city. The C18 is most useful for daily commuters and residents rather than sightseers.

Fare and Tips
Most current listings put the C18 fare at a flat AED 15 on a Nol card for the full trip, though standard RTA zone-based pricing may apply if you’re only travelling part of the route. As always, have your Nol card topped up and ready before boarding, since cash isn’t accepted.
Given the discrepancy between sources on journey time (25 minutes versus 45-60 minutes), build in some buffer if you’re timing a connection.
