Public Parks and Beaches in Dubai
Dubai Public Parks And Beaches
If an image of deserts and harsh weather come to your mind at the mention of Dubai, you are in for a big surprise when you visit the city. Marvellously diverse and offering a wide variety of things to do and places to see, Dubai is perhaps the most cosmopolitan destination in the world, quite similar to Hong Kong and Singapore in many ways. Dubai is world-renowned for its shopping opportunities and commercial activities, but the little known aspects of Dubai are the most intriguing and entertaining to both visitors and residents.
Al Mamzar Beach
For instance, did you know Dubai has over fifty recreational parks within just the city limits? There are numerous parks located within freehold residential communities as well. The most popular Dubai public parks are Jumeirah Beach Park, Dubai Creekside Park, Mushrif Park and Safa Park. Plenty of smaller, child-friendly, public recreational parks are located throughout the city, even right in the middle of busy commercial streets. These are attractive spots for picnics and leisure outings for the family.
Jumeirah Beach Park
Dubai beaches are another must-visit place while you are in the city. Famed for its impassive stretch of white sand gently and regularly touched by the rolling azure sea waves, the Jumeirah Beach is the most visited Dubai beach. The beach stretches along for several kilometres and the fragmented stretches of the Jumeirah Beach are privately owned by the five-star hotels alongside the coastline. The beach is therefore only open to guests of each hotel. However, the beach section belonging to the Jumeirah Park is open to anyone who visits the the park. The other popular beach in Dubai is located in Al Mamzar, Deira, which is open to the public. Smaller beaches are located along the other coastal areas.
Jumeirah Beach by Night
Dubai public parks and beaches are heavily crowded on Thursdays and Fridays, especially during the evenings, because it’s the weekend. Surfing, jet skiing, scuba diving and other water sports are allowed along the beachside.
