Over the last couple of years, Golden Tulip Al Jazira’s Bungalow beach has been in collaboration with Flopster and Husk9, who have opened the stretch of shoreline for you and your furry friends from 7am to 9pm. This beachside paradise runs many Flopster and Husk9 Beach events, which have come into being due to the increasing number of dog owners who want to take their furry friends into the great UAE outdoors. With an array of weekly activities weekly, expect dog-friendly surfboarding, breakfast clubs and other interactive activities where pet lovers can meet and share their love of their furry friends. This beach is approximately 30 minutes from Dubai and around an hour from Abu Dhabi and is an idyllic place to frolic about with your pup.
