Description

A 6-metre-wide boardwalk — one of Dubai’s best golden-hour spots.

Whether you are walking, running, or spending time with your family, the walk is car-free and safe.

Choose your distance: 2, 4, 8, or 11 km. Feeling ambitious? Complete two full loops for almost a half-marathon.

Plan your walk

  • ■Easy to reach by public transport: Metro → Tram → Palm Monorail.
  • ■(!) There is no shade. Come early in the morning or after 5 PM.
  • ■(!) Public restrooms are concentrated near hotels and Monorail hubs. The full 11 km loop is a serious distance. Bring enough water or choose a shorter route.
  • ■Take a coffee break at Poseidon Café, overlooking the aquarium.
  • ■(!) Cycling, scooters and e-scooters are strictly prohibited.
