Kite Beach, Dubai
Kite Beach
A free public beach with the Burj Al Arab as its backdrop, offering running tracks, beach sports and food trucks, one of the beaches locals love most.
Kite Beach is in Umm Suqeim and features several kilometres of open sand, with dedicated running paths, beach volleyball courts, a children’s area and many food trucks and cafés. The name comes from the kitesurfing popular here, and you can also rent paddleboards and kayaks. From the southern end you can photograph the full view of the Burj Al Arab. The beach is free and has showers and changing rooms, but it gets busy on weekends. Dress respectfully for local customs, and put on a cover-up when you leave the beach.
