Dubai Parks

Although Dubai may be characterised as a ‘concrete jungle’, it’s also home to a number of remarkable parks. Entrance fees are quite low and they’re the perfect place for your kids to play or your family to enjoy a BBQ. To satisfy the needs of Dubai’s largely Muslim population, all the parks set aside a day for women and children. Be sure to contact the park ahead of time, as these days are subject to change.

Creek Park
