E411 Bus: Ajman to Dubai — Timings, Stops & Fare

E411 Bus: Ajman to Dubai at a Glance

If you need a cheap, direct link between Ajman and Dubai’s Metro network, the e411 bus route is the service to know. Operated by Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), the E411 runs between Al Musallah Bus Station in Ajman and Etisalat Bus Station in Dubai — beside Etisalat Metro Station, the northern terminus of the Metro Green Line. It is not the Union Square bus: that is the separate E400. The E411 suits you better if you are heading for the Green Line or the Al Qusais side of Dubai, or if you live near its Ajman stops and want fewer stops than the E400.

This guide covers the full route in both directions, the current e411 bus timings, the fare and how to pay, and a step-by-step walkthrough of the journey.

E411 Bus Route and Stops

The E411 is a short intercity route with only six stops, which is why it can complete the Ajman–Dubai run in around 50 minutes in normal traffic. You board and alight only at the named E411 stops below.

Dubai to Ajman — Stop List

• Thumbay Hospital, Ajman
• Crown Palace Hotel, Ajman
• Rashidiya, Ajman
• Lulu Hypermarket A, Ajman

The Thumbay Hospital stop suits hospital patients and staff, while Crown Palace Hotel and Lulu Hypermarket serve central Ajman — although most passengers still board at Al Musallah, where onward Ajman buses are available.

E411 Bus Timings

The core e411 bus timings are simple: buses run roughly hourly. From Monday to Saturday the first departure is at 6:00 AM in both directions. Sunday starts later, at 10:00 AM — do not rely on a weekday plan for a Sunday morning trip. Last departures differ slightly by direction, which is why the table separates the two.

Direction	Days	First Bus	Last Bus	Frequency
Ajman (Al Musallah) → Dubai (Etisalat)	Monday–Saturday	6:00 AM	9:25 PM	Approx. every 60 minutes
Ajman (Al Musallah) → Dubai (Etisalat)	Sunday	10:00 AM	10:00 PM	Approx. every 60 minutes
Dubai (Etisalat) → Ajman (Al Musallah)	Monday–Saturday	6:00 AM	9:00 PM	Approx. every 60 minutes
Dubai (Etisalat) → Ajman (Al Musallah)	Sunday	10:00 AM	9:51 PM	Approx. every 60 minutes

Because departures are only about once an hour, missing one bus can add a full hour to your journey. Check the live departure board on the RTA website or in the S’hail app on the day you travel, especially on public holidays. If you need an earlier start or later finish, compare the E400 to Union Square in our Dubai to Ajman bus guide.

Fare and Payment: Nol Card Only

The E411 fare is AED 12 one way, in either direction. Payment is by Nol card only — the RTA smart card used across Dubai buses and the Metro. Cash is not accepted on board, so a driver cannot sell you a ticket if you arrive without a card.

• Make sure your Nol card holds at least the AED 12 fare before you board; top up at Etisalat Metro Station, at Al Musallah where facilities allow, or in the S’hail app if your card is registered.
• Tap your Nol card on the reader when you board, as instructed on the bus.
• Buy a Nol card at any Dubai Metro station, including Etisalat, if you are starting your journey on the Dubai side.
• Do not assume an Ajman Masaar card will work on this bus: the E411 is an RTA service and its published payment method is Nol. Carry a topped-up Nol card to be safe.

How to Ride the E411 from Ajman to Dubai: Step by Step

• Step 1 — Get to your boarding stop. Most passengers use Al Musallah Bus Station in Ajman; otherwise use Lulu Hypermarket A, Rashidiya, Crown Palace Hotel or Thumbay Hospital if one is closer to you.
• Step 2 — Check the departure time. Confirm the next e411 bus timing from Ajman in the S’hail app or on the station board, and arrive 10 minutes early.
• Step 3 — Check your Nol balance. You need at least AED 12 available.
• Step 4 — Board and tap in. Confirm “E411 — Etisalat” on the destination display, board, and tap your Nol card.
• Step 5 — Ride to Etisalat. The journey takes about 50 minutes in normal traffic.
• Step 6 — Continue on the Metro if needed. At Etisalat, walk to Etisalat Metro Station and take the Green Line towards the city centre, changing to the Red Line where needed — using the same Nol card.

Tips for E411 Passengers

• Plan around the hourly gap. This is not a turn-up-and-go city route. Time your arrival at the stop around a scheduled departure.
• Allow traffic time. The scheduled run is about 50 minutes, but peak-hour traffic can stretch it considerably. Do not plan a tight onward connection.
• Choose E411 vs E400 by your Dubai destination. E411 for Etisalat and the Green Line; E400 for Union Square, Baniyas and the Deira city-centre side. See the E400 bus guide.
• Sunday starts late. With a 10:00 AM first bus, Sunday-morning commuters may need the E400 or a taxi instead.
• Heading to Sharjah instead? The E411 does not terminate in Sharjah. From Etisalat, the E315 bus serves Muwaileh, and the E303 bus runs from Union Square to Al Jubail.
