[3][4] Business Bay station is located at the intersection of Sheikh Zayed Road and 35th Street, southwest of Dubai's historic centre.

As its name suggests, the station serves the large Business Bay, which borders Downtown Dubai.

Like many stations on the Red Line, Business Bay lies on a viaduct paralleling the eastern side of Sheikh Zayed Road.

Pedestrian access is aided by a skybridge across Sheikh Zayed Road to Al Wasl.

A crossover to the west of the station allows reversals from both Rashidiya and Jumeirah Lakes Towers.
