Dubai Parks |
| |
Several attractive parks decorate Dubai, which is stunning since Dubai has come a long way from a simple desert country to a cosmopolitan “greener” country filled with green patches suitable for weekend outings or agreeable afternoons when the weather is apposite. |

Located off Al Wasl road right behind the Iranian Hospital, its is easily accessible since its not so far from many residential areas.

A shuttle train is also part of the attraction along with a sheltered beach area and safe lagoon with many different children play areas. Piped oriental music is played all day giving a nice finicky atmosphere which can be enjoyed on the green patchy picnic areas. Al Mamzar Park is located around 5 km after the turn off point to the Hamriya Port. |
