Al Mamzer Beach - Dubai

Al Mamzar Beach features five pristine beaches for sunbathing or swimming. Before reaching the soft white sand, you'll cross the large section of manicured lawn, with winding foot and bike paths sided by swaying palm trees.

Spread over 106 hectares, Al Mamzar includes three stunning pools where families can cool off instead of getting sandy on the shore. Kids can run and explore the adjacent play area and the open amphitheatre area, which often hosts organised entertainment. Need a snack? Food kiosks situated throughout the beach park give you ample opportunity to grab a quick bite by the water.
