Jumeirah Beach
This is the beach to go to if your a tourist, it costs 5 Dirhams (about 1 Euro) to enter. Inside you have acess to changing rooms, toilets, clean beach, kids park and no inhabitans that looks at your wife/girl, like they do at the public beach (see my Warning tip or the public beach).
There is alot of beach rules, make sure to follow them or you can be thrown out of the beach park.
There is a couple of restaurants in the beach park area and one (that I´v seen) fast food place. So you dont have to worry about the food.
The water is like on a post card light green and you wont see any rocks or shells that will hurt your feet. The beach is fine sand no small rocks or garbage anywhere. Wonderful place
Open Hours:
Daily 8am-10:30pm.
Thur & Fri till 11pm.
Monday for children and ladies only
You can rent following things at the beach
Towels- 5 Dirhams (about 1 Euro)
Small parasol- 5 Dirhams (about 1 Euro)
Big parasol- 10 Dirhams (about 2 Euro)
Sun chair- 15 Dirhams (about 3 Euro)
Dubai Creek
Abra's will take you across dubai creek. it's well worth checking this out as the roads are usually jam packed across the bridges anyway. The abra stations are a hustle and bustle of people and the ride across takes a few minutes but you'll get to see a great view of the creek (great for photos)
The word abra comes from the arabic verb to cross, and these boats have been in operation for many years now.
Wild Wadi Park
The Wild Wadi is a great waterpark with a great location right by the famous Burj al Arab and Jumeirah Beach hotels. A great way to spend the day. Although, if you travel during the hot summer months when temperatures are regularly in the mid 40s, care is needed to prevent a doze of sun stroke or sun burn. One of the most memorable rides is the Master Blaster where you sit in a dinghy and are actually propelled up a slide by powerful water jets. There is also the Jumeirah Sceirah (the highest and fastest free fall water slide outside north America), a large wave pool and lazy river among several other attractions in the park. Tip - Be sure to adjust your swimming costume before standing up after riding the Jumeirah Sceirah.
Sand Boarding
The theme is a cross between snowboarding and beach activities. However, there is no snow and there is no beach.
They will pick you up from your hotel in the early morning. The drive takes you to some of the most beautiful sand dunes of the deserts in Dubai. Upon reaching the dunes, you have the opportunity to experience the exhilaration of the one of the most popular sports in the desert - sand boarding! No trip to Dubai is complete without at least one slide down a sand dune.
Note: I know it will be hot, but best to wear long shorts and elbow and knee pads. If you fall, you can endure a pretty rough case of road rash
