Beautiful areas with winding streets. Nice stroll with the view of the water. Shops seem to be touristy and very similar to each other
Sir Muhammad Bilal is very good instector of Jumeirah branch.he is very honest ND great personality.He learns to drive well.
Best islamic information centre in dubai
Best place in dubai to get some good feel it is more like Venice City based on sea. Somewhat giving the same feel if you seen it. Every photo i clicked I loved it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ strongly recommended for everyone who's visiting dubai must visit this. And it is absolutely free to roam any part of it.
We had lunch at the Arabian Tea house which is a must. You can't book as they only do walk ins.cross the road and head towards the old buildings. It was nice to walk around and look at the shops. Definitely worth doing as something different and a change of scenery. There is also the museum of illusions to do too. There is a Starbucks as you walk further along.
Wonderful place, worth visiting. Don’t forget to go downstairs into the Qattara Archeological Basement for the interesting historical exhibit.
It was our first time visiting Qattara Arts Centre, and it was so fun. The employees were friendly and provided a great explanation of the installments and the best way to go through them. It was air-conditioned with clean bathrooms. Overall, I had a great time walking through the exhibitions and learning about them.
Met the Grand Mufti of India HE Sheikh Abubakar Ahmed ( Abu Bakar ) , Chairman of Bu Abdullah Group of companies, and Huzaifa Ibrahim founder of friends of Parkinson’s.
It was close for renovation when we went there. But viewing from the outside it was awesome.
Good Place to visit, though it is small for now (may be extended in the future.

New and Neat place. Kids will enjoy the place, main play area is closed for covid situation i believe but other skate board field and water play area are good for kids to enjoy.

Food shops (trucks) are available, Drive in theater is available.

Parking is available.
Yet to develop, good place for kids play.
Newly opened place well organised overall lots of free activities for kids family free parking available opp side and lots of fast food restaurant must visit one time you will be liked.
