Savour a meal, enjoy a bird-watch and take a stroll with your family at Mushrif National Park. There are plenty of barbecue areas, picnic spots and restaurants onsite, and if you’re looking to get some exercise, there are sports facilities like swimming pools, bicycle tracks and a football field.

Mushrif Park is also home to tree-top adventure course Aventura Parks, where the active and adventurous can swing from branches and zipline across 80 exciting challenges. 

Enjoy nature and entertainment at Mushrif Park

Rich with indigenous wildlife and greenery, including a forest of ghaf trees, Mushrif Park is the perfect spot to set your eyes on the splendid birds of the Middle East. Arabian babblers, yellow-throated sparrows and rufous-tailed robins can be seen flying through the trees. One of the rare highlights is the pallid scops owl – usually seen feeding on the grass or hooting from the flora near the mosque.

Make your day even more memorable with the entertainment options available. There are plenty of attractions for the kids like play areas, games, horse riding and a train ride. During the holidays, you can even watch musical concerts at the large theatre. 

Explore wild terrains at Mushrif Park

Thanks to its unique setting, Mushrif Park offers activities for outdoor adventures unlike any other in the city. Cyclists, whether beginners or experts, can take on 20km of mountain biking trails that weave through the park. There are many tracks available, with varying difficulty levels and enough capacity for up to 3,000 riders daily.

Those who prefer to amble amid nature can enjoy a 10km walking path instead. The free-to-use track is a first in Dubai, with options for easy walking to more rigorous ones for hiking regulars. Stairways, bridges, sculptures and public facilities feature along the route, allowing for great vantage points from which to admire the landscape or take a break and freshen up.

Ticket prices and booking information

The park is suitable for people of all age groups and abilities. You can enter the park for a fee of AED3 per person, or simply come in your car and pay AED10. People of determination, as well as children under the age of two, can enter for free.

If you’d like to use the swimming pools while you’re there, adults can jump in for AED10 and children for AED5. You can learn more on the park’s official website and entry tickets must be purchased at the venue. Aventura Parks, located within Mushrif Park, has its own entry and experience fees.
