Dubai Tram Advertising, Formats, Locations & Rates
Dubai Tram advertising provides brands with a transit advertising opportunity across one of Dubai’s established urban transport networks. The Dubai Tram operates through areas including Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), Dubai Media City, Knowledge Village and Al Sufouh, with connections to the Dubai Metro and access to surrounding residential, commercial, hospitality, retail and leisure destinations. This makes the tram environment relevant for advertisers looking to build a presence within specific parts of Dubai rather than relying solely on conventional roadside advertising.
Depending on current authorised media inventory, Dubai Tram advertising opportunities may include branding on selected tram vehicles, advertising within tram stations, digital and static displays, platform media and other approved transit advertising formats. Different formats allow campaigns to be planned around passenger environments, station locations and the wider areas served by the tram network. Exact formats, locations and availability should be confirmed for the required campaign period.
OAU helps advertisers evaluate and coordinate Dubai Tram advertising campaigns based on campaign objectives, preferred locations, available media formats, duration and budget. Campaign support can include media planning, artwork adaptation, production and implementation coordination according to the specifications of the relevant media operator and applicable requirements. All Dubai Tram advertising opportunities remain subject to current inventory, technical specifications, media-owner requirements and applicable approvals.

DUBAI TRAM ADVERTISING RULES & APPROVALS
Dubai Tram advertising is subject to requirements covering authorised media inventory, advertising content, passenger and operational safety, artwork specifications and installation. Dubai Tram forms part of the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) transport network, and advertising must use authorised advertising assets. RTA
Authorised Tram Advertising Assets
Advertising should only use approved media inventory on Dubai Tram vehicles, stations and other designated Tram environments. Advertisers should not independently install or modify advertising on Tram vehicles, platforms, stations or related infrastructure.
Passenger & Operational Safety
Advertising must not interfere with passenger movement, accessibility, station operations, safety information, emergency signage, driver visibility or other operational elements of the Tram network.
Artwork & Advertising Content
Artwork should comply with applicable Dubai advertising requirements and the technical specifications of the selected Tram media asset. Requirements may cover dimensions, resolution, materials, vehicle templates, production specifications and permitted branding areas. RTA
Tram Wraps & Station Advertising
Full or partial Tram wraps, station panels, digital displays and other formats may have different production and installation requirements. Availability of a particular format or station should be confirmed before artwork production.
RTA & Media-Operator Requirements
Dubai Tram advertising should follow applicable RTA requirements and the specifications of the relevant authorised media operator. The Dubai OOH Advertising Manual includes requirements relating to advertising design, positioning, dimensions and the safety of pedestrians and road users. RTA
Compliance Note: Advertising formats, availability, approval procedures and technical specifications can vary across Tram vehicles, stations and individual media assets. Applicable requirements should therefore be confirmed before artwork production and campaign activation.
