Another game of spot the difference from Dubai.
Photos taken 17 months apart and the new metro line through Discovery Gardens and Al Furjan opens later this month.
The metro is fully automated, no driver. The track extension runs from Nakheel (near the Marina) to the Expo 2020 site, which has been postponed until next year, due to covid. This is one of 7 stations on the 15km extension which will eventually link up to Al Maktoum airport. 11km elevated above the ground and 4km underground.
