A one-way ticket on the E700 costs AED 28 per person. There are no child discounts or return ticket bundles currently available on this route.

Payment method: You must pay using a Nol Card. Cash is not accepted on board. Top up your Nol Card at any RTA ticket machine in Dubai Metro stations before travel.

Nol Cards are valid across the entire RTA network — metro, tram, and local buses — so the card you use on the E700 can also be used once you arrive in Dubai.

The route passes through the Hajar Mountains, so expect genuinely beautiful scenery — especially around Masafi. It’s a welcome contrast to the typical highway commute.

A few things worth knowing before you board:

• Arrive 10–15 minutes early — the bus won’t wait, and the next one is 90 minutes away
• Top up your Nol Card before you arrive at Fujairah Bus Station, as there may not be machines at every stop
• Travel between 9 AM and 3 PM on weekdays to avoid both rush hours and weekend crowds
• Download the RTA Smart app to track buses in real time and check live departure times
• Bring water and a light snack — there are no refreshment stops mid-journey
• If you’re connecting to the Dubai Metro, exit at Union Square and enter the station directly
• Book the window seat on the right side (heading to Dubai) for views of the Hajar Mountains

Other Ways to Get from Fujairah to Dubai

The E700 is the most economical option, but here’s how it compares to alternatives:

Option	Cost (One-Way)	Duration	Best For
E700 Bus	AED 28	2–2.5 hrs	Budget travel, daily commuters
Taxi	AED 300–400	1.5–2 hrs	Speed, convenience, groups
Car Rental	AED 100–200/day	~1.5 hrs	Flexibility, exploring Fujairah
Private Shuttle	AED 50–100	2–2.5 hrs	Hotel guests, small groups

For most solo travellers and daily commuters, the E700 is a clear winner on cost. For families or those carrying significant luggage, a taxi or private shuttle may be worth the premium.
