Dubai's
main beaches run along Jumeira
Road. In truth, it is one long beach divided up by
hotels and private clubs, interspaced by a few public
access beaches. The Jumeira beaches have soft white
sand that slip into the shallow warm turquoise waters
of the Arabian Gulf.
There is also a public beach at Al Mamzar Park
on the Deira side of the Creek. The public facilities
include playgrounds, barbecue sites, food kiosks,
and picnic areas for families. January temperatures
are pleasant so the beaches are full of Europeans.
Summer temperatures can reach 45-50 degrees centigrade
with equally high humidity. |
