Here are the spots in Dubai where you can find the free smart umbrella service
Sun or rain, you won’t ever be without an umbrella again!
At least not in Dubai. Thanks to Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority’s collaboration with UmbraCity, a Canadian smart umbrella share service company, you can now find a ‘free of cost’ umbrella service at certain major spots.
Anytime you’re at Al Ghubaiba Bus and Metro station, commuters can now borrow umbrellas free of cost at one location using their ‘nol’ card.
The seamless integration promotes ease of mobility and environmental sustainability. The proof-of-concept service is designed to enhance the walkability of Dubai, providing residents and visitors with a convenient and sustainable way to shield themselves from the sun and rain.

With Dubai actively making strides towards becoming a ’20-minute city’, i.e, where residents can access their daily needs within a 20-minute walk or bike ride, the move comes as a step in the right direction towards fostering a greater sense of community and well-being.
Aligned with the visionary Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, this initiative underlines Dubai’s commitment to fostering a sustainable, healthy, and inclusive urban environment.
By integrating advanced technology with practical urban solutions, RTA and UmbraCity are taking a significant step towards realising Dubai’s ambition to become the best city for living in the world by improving the quality of life and enhancing the happiness of its people.
