Free WiFi in Dubai Metro during Ramadan

Metro users will be able to enjoy free WiFi while traveling by metro in Dubai during the month of Ramadan, announced the service provider du.

The complementary WiFi service will be available in all Dubai Metro carriages, on every train and on both the Green and Red Lines, du said in a statement.

To connect, passengers must select the ‘du WiFi’ from their WiFi-enabled device. Opening their device’s browser will direct them to the du WiFi landing page, from which complimentary browsing can start.

Fahad Al Hassawi, Chief Commercial Officer of du, said: “Providing complimentary WiFi will allow Dubai’s commuters to enjoy a higher level of seamless connectivity. The ability to connect anywhere, at any time, empowers people with the ability to be more productive, and to stay in touch with the things that matter most to them – something that we consider to be important at a time such as the Holy Month of Ramadan.”

Although it has not been said whether the complimentary service is likely to continue in the future, free WiFi in Dubai metro has been a topic of discussion among the concerned authorities, which are looking at the feasibility of such a step.

Currently, Wifi is provided by du in Dubai metro against a charge.
