Dubai Marina Walk

Dubai Marina Walk is a free waterfront promenade that wraps around the 3.5-kilometre Dubai Marina canal, lined with palm trees, alfresco cafes and moored yachts. Kids can scoot or skate along the wide paved path, wave at the speedboats and yacht cruises gliding past, and stop at the small playground on the Marina Promenade stretch, with swings, slides and monkey bars. Waterside cafes, Pier 7 and Dubai Marina Mall are right on the route for a snack break, and in the evening the towers light up over the water. There are no gates or tickets, and Dubai Tram stops are a short walk away.
