Al Ras has two side platforms with two tracks, with tracks curving from underneath Dubai Creek northeasterly towards Palm Deira. Along with its sister station across Dubai Creek to the west, Al Ghubaiba, Al Ras has different theming than most Metro stations. Instead of using the elements of air, water, fire or earth, its design is inspired by traditional Middle Eastern architecture to mirror the surrounding architecture.Platform layout
