Cycling or walking along Jumeirah Beach
A beautiful coastal running and cycling track stretches for about 7 km from the mouth of Dubai Canal all the way to Burj Al Arab. One of the few places in Dubai where you can see native Emiratis enjoying their time alongside expats from all over the world in the evenings. There are bike rental stations along the way (mobile data and a credit card needed though).

Al Safa Park
A beautiful planned park and one of the oldest parks in Dubai. It is a favourite for sports enthusiasts, and many visitors enjoy playing tennis, volleyball, and soccer. Children love playing games in the video arcade, or riding the Ferris wheel and bumper cars. The park even has a maze to wander through. Barbeques and picnic areas are available for those who want to make a day of it. It has lakes where you can take a boat ride and a hill that offers panoramic views of this beautiful lush green park and the gigantic Dubai skyline. But as of 2017, infrastructure are old disused and it have construction work.
