Between May and the end of August, RTA will start updating and renaming all external and internal directional signage across Metro stations. The new name will also be reflected across the authority's smart digital systems, public transport applications, and onboard audio announcements prior to and upon arrival at the station.

The agreement was signed between Life Pharmacy Group and Hypermedia, with Mada Media attending in its capacity as the authorised concessionaire appointed by RTA under a concession agreement between Mada Media and RTA.

The renaming comes under the Dubai Metro Naming Rights initiative, which was launched in 2009 as the first project of its kind globally.

In the previous years, multiple Metro stations were renamed under the initiative, the most recent one being GGICO station which was renamed to Al Garhoud Metro Station . Prior to that, Al Khail Metro Station was renamed as Al Fardan Exchange this year.

Other stations that have seen a change in name and branding have been Dubai's JL Metro station, Umm Sheif , Mashreq , Marina and Al Safa among others.
