Dubai Trolley was a tram system in Downtown Dubai. It included a number of trams specially designed for Emaar Properties, with an operational speed of 10 km per hour. The trolleys were double-decker and could convey 50 passengers, who could ride on the open deck or the air-conditioned seating. They conveyed passengers free of charge.
The Dubai Trolley project was announced by Emaar Properties on 23 April 2008, with opening proposed for the end of 2009. The total cost was put at AED 500 million.
The line on which the Dubai Trolleys travel will be built in three phases which will form a 7 km loop around Downtown Dubai.
As of 2019, Dubai Trolley is out of operation. Poles are located at tracks, tram vehicle number one is displayed to the public in the street, depot is used as a commercial area.
