Equiti (Arabic: إكويتي; formerly First Gulf Bank, First Abu Dhabi Bank and Umm Al Sheif) is a rapid transit station on the Red Line[1][2] of the Dubai Metro in Dubai, UAE, serving Al Quoz and surrounding areas.[3] The station is named after the Equiti Group.[4]

The station opened as part of the Red Line on 15 October 2010 as First Gulf Bank. It was renamed to First Abu Dhabi Bank on September 21, 2017, Umm Al Sheif on November 24, 2020,[5] and Equiti on 18 April 2022.[6][7]

The station closed due to station flooding on 16 April 2024. Services resumed in May.[8]

Equiti station is located on the Sheikh Zayed Road near the major junction with Umm Suqeim Street.[9] Nearby is the Gold and Diamond Park,[5] immediately adjacent to the station, including the Old Library building. As well as Al Quoz, surrounding neighbourhoods include the eponymous Umm Al Sheif itself and Umm Suqeim. The station is close to a number of bus routes.[10]
