As part of the agreement with the emirate’s Road and Transport Authority, Umm Al Sheif metro station will be renamed as Equiti metro station for a period of 10 years.

The naming right of this metro station constitutes an investment opportunity for Equiti Group. Its strategic location will enable the brokerage firm to benefit from significant advertising assets and achieve huge brands exposure at some of Dubai’s key destinations.

For its part, the project, the first of its kind in the region, helps raise revenue for Dubai’s public transport infrastructure and improve transport services.

Dubai Metro stations are a strategic location for investors to showcase their brands. The metro is the mainstay of transportation in Dubai and a key hub in the daily commute of hundreds of thousands of various community members.
