8 Bus Route Dubai: Gold Souq to Palm Jumeirah & Dubai Marina
8 Bus Route Dubai connects Gold Souq Bus Station to Palm Jumeirah Monorail Station, passing through Deira City Centre and the Jumeirah Beach and Dubai Marina corridor along the way. It’s a favorite among sightseers heading to Dubai’s most famous beach and marina districts.
This is one of the longer cross-city routes in the RTA network, connecting historic Deira all the way to the modern Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina developments. Given the distance covered, Route 8 crosses several fare zones, reflected in its higher-than-minimum ticket price.
