Satwa Post Office Dubai: Emirates Post, Bus Stop, Routes & Location

Satwa Post Office is the familiar local name for the postal branch now shown on current maps as NXN – Al Bada’a Post Office (formerly Emirates Post). The physical branch is at 37 83B Street, Al Satwa, Dubai, while the similarly named Satwa, Post Office bus stop is a separate public-transport location on Al Satwa Road.

That distinction matters when you are choosing a map pin, planning a bus journey or visiting to send a parcel.

Current branch information shows long weekday and Saturday opening hours, while Emirates Post remains the UAE’s official postal operator and nxn operates its nationwide branch network.

Is It Still Emirates Post?

Yes. The name change on maps does not mean Emirates Post has stopped operating as the UAE’s postal service.

Emirates Post states that it remains the official postal operator of the UAE and continues to provide PO Boxes, domestic mail, international shipping and other postal services. Its current corporate information also says that nxn operates the nationwide branch network.

That explains why you may see several names online:

Emirates Post Al Satwa
Al Bada’a Post Office
NXN – Al Bada’a Post Office
formerly Emirates Post

For a visitor, these names point towards the same current postal branch context in Al Satwa/Al Bada’a.

If you are unfamiliar with the area, the Al Satwa neighbourhood guide gives useful context on the surrounding streets and local landmarks.

Where Is Satwa Post Office Located?

The current physical postal branch is listed at:

37 83B Street, Al Satwa, Dubai, UAE.

Use this address when you actually need the postal counter, PO Box service or parcel-related assistance.

An important source of confusion is that older map and directory entries can still appear in search results. If an older result points you somewhere different, compare it with the current NXN – Al Bada’a Post Office listing before travelling.

For wider road orientation, the Satwa Roundabout map can help you understand how the branch sits within the wider Satwa area.

A live map pin is preferable to relying on an old building description because local business names and map listings can change.

Current Opening Hours and Contact

Current Waze data shows:

Monday: 9:00 AM–9:00 PM
Tuesday: 9:00 AM–9:00 PM
Wednesday: 9:00 AM–9:00 PM
Thursday: 9:00 AM–9:00 PM
Friday: 2:00 PM–9:00 PM
Saturday: 9:00 AM–9:00 PM.

The current Waze schedule does not display a Sunday time, so it is better to confirm Sunday before making a special journey.

This is important because older directories still show noticeably different schedules. Some list shorter weekday hours or different Friday arrangements. For a time-sensitive visit, the freshest live branch listing should take priority over an old directory page.

The official Emirates Post contact number is:

+971 600 599 999

Emirates Post also uses this number for WhatsApp support. Its current contact page lists telephone support from Monday to Saturday, with split Friday support hours, while WhatsApp provides automated assistance around the clock.

Remember that customer-service hours and physical branch hours are not the same thing.

What Services Can You Use There?

Emirates Post provides domestic and international postal services through its branches and digital channels.

Common needs include:

• sending documents and parcels within the UAE;
• sending international shipments;
• receiving postal mail;
• tracking shipments;
• renting or renewing a PO Box;
• asking about postal rates and service options.

For domestic shipping, Emirates Post currently offers different service levels, including Standard, Express and Premium options, depending on the shipment and destination.

International shipments can also be sent through Emirates Post branches. Delivery time depends on the destination and service selected, and the official site recommends using its rate calculator for a current estimate.

Not every specialised service is necessarily available in exactly the same way at every branch. If you need something unusual, confirm the service before making a dedicated trip.

What Is the PO Box Number?

There is no single universal PO Box number for everyone living or working in Satwa.

A PO Box is assigned to the individual or business that rents it. Emirates Post’s official terms state that PO Box numbers are assigned by Emirates Post and become the renter’s mailing address.

For individuals, current Emirates Post options include:

• MyBox — AED 300
• MyHome — AED 695
• MyHome Instant — AED 995

The current personal PO Box page also lists a AED 70 registration fee. Applicants must be UAE residents aged 18 or above and provide an Emirates ID.

These prices were current when checked in September 2026 and can change.

You can apply online, through the Emirates Post mobile app or through a branch. Emirates Post also allows existing boxes to be renewed online or in person.

So if a directory shows a PO Box number beside the branch name, do not copy that number into your own mailing address unless Emirates Post has actually assigned it to you.

Does Satwa Have a ZIP or Postal Code?

A related search is “Satwa Post Office ZIP code”, but using an unofficial ZIP code from a random directory can create problems.

Emirates Post’s postal guidance focuses on the recipient’s own PO Box and physical address details rather than telling residents to use a universal Satwa ZIP code.

For mail addressed within the UAE, the useful details are the recipient’s name, their assigned PO Box where applicable, physical address, emirate and contact information.

If an online form forces you to enter a postal code, follow the instructions of the organisation requesting the address rather than inventing one based on a post-office directory.

Is the Satwa Post Office Bus Stop the Same Place?

No. The public transport stop and the physical postal branch are separate entities.

Current Yango data identifies the bus stop as:

Satwa, Post Office
257 Al Satwa Road, Dubai.

The physical postal branch, by contrast, is at 37 83B Street.

This explains why a person searching for the same words can receive both postal-service results and RTA/public-transport results.

If you are travelling by bus, make sure you are looking at the transport stop. If you need to send a parcel or use a PO Box service, make sure your final destination is the physical branch.

The guide to bus stops near Satwa Roundabout can help you understand the wider stop cluster before travelling.

Which Buses Stop at Satwa Post Office?

Current Yango data lists a large number of routes serving the stop, including:

7, 14, 15, 28, 55, 88, 93, 93B, 98E, C01, C09, C26, F11, F27, F28 and N55.

The overnight N55 is especially relevant for late travel, while other routes connect the Satwa area with destinations such as Oud Metha, Airport Terminal 3, Ghubaiba and nearby metro connections.

The route list can differ depending on the exact stop side and direction of travel, so do not assume every bus serves both sides of Al Satwa Road in the same way.

If your journey passes through the area’s main transport hub, the Al Satwa Bus Station guide can help you understand the wider network.

For the actual journey, use current RTA or live transit information because routes, departure times and stop assignments can change.

What Is the Nearest Metro Station?

World Trade Centre is one of the metro stations commonly surfaced around the Satwa Post Office transport area.

Current Yango data places World Trade Centre about 1.38 km from the Satwa, Post Office bus-stop pin.

That number should not be treated as the exact walking distance from the physical postal branch because the branch and bus stop are different locations.

Depending on where you start and which destination pin you use, another metro/bus combination may be more convenient.

The nearby Al Satwa Big Mosque is another useful landmark when orienting yourself around central Satwa.

What About Emirates ID Collection?

Some people search specifically for Emirates ID collection at the branch.

The current sources checked for this guide do not provide strong branch-specific confirmation that NXN Al Bada’a Post Office should be treated as a general Emirates ID collection point.

Government-document collection arrangements can change.

If you receive an SMS, email or official notification telling you where to collect an Emirates ID or another government document, follow the location named in that message rather than assuming it will be the Satwa branch.

What Should You Check Before Visiting?

A few quick checks can prevent most problems.

First, make sure you are using the current 37 83B Street branch listing.

Second, confirm live opening hours if your visit is on Friday, Sunday, during Ramadan or around a UAE public holiday.

Third, check whether the postal service you need is available at this branch. Standard parcel and PO Box services are widely supported, but specialised services can have different availability.

Fourth, if you are using public transport, confirm the correct Satwa, Post Office stop and direction before boarding.

These checks are particularly useful because old branch names, postal listings and public-transport results can all appear together in the same search.

Final Thoughts

Satwa Post Office is best understood as two related but separate local references: the current NXN – Al Bada’a Post Office at 37 83B Street and the Satwa, Post Office public-transport stop on Al Satwa Road.

Emirates Post remains the UAE’s official postal operator, while nxn operates its branch network. For parcels, mail and PO Box services, use the physical branch. For bus journeys, use the exact transport-stop listing.

Check live hours before travelling and use your own assigned PO Box details rather than copying a generic number from an old directory.
