It opened its doors to the people on September 9, 2011, and is a major transit point linking commuters to the most important cultural and commercial destinations. The structure has its own distinctive design with architecture based on the traditional Emirati architecture with sand-colored walls, arch-shaped windows, and wooden lattice made in such a way that it incorporates a historical feel into the area of the old Dubai district.

The layout of the stations consists of two platforms on one side with two operational tracks and is easily accessible through escalators, elevators, and a broad concourse that brings ease to the passengers and accessibility. It has good facilities like ticket vending machines, information counters, prayer rooms, washrooms, retail outlets, and ATMs, which make their journey convenient and smooth. Al Ghubaiba Metro Station is well located close to all the major tourist sites, including Al Fahidi Historical Neighborhood, Dubai Museum, the busy Gold and Spice Souks, and the Dubai Creek.

Also, the use of water transport can be done by taking an abra to the other side of Dubai Creek. The position of the station serves both tourists, who want to find out more about the rich tradition of Dubai, and locals who attend to use it as a daily way to overcome transport barriers. Positioning Al Ghubaiba Metro Station as a crossroad between the traditional location and the indicator of modern development, the venue reflects the changes in traffic and cultural transformations that are happening in Dubai today.
