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.[2] The total cost was put at AED 500 million.[3]

The line on which the Dubai Trolleys travel will be built in three phases which will form a 7 km loop around Downtown Dubai.[1]

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.
