Here's when Dubai's top outdoor attractions are reopening
Do you feel that cool breeze in the air?
Many of us have noticed it is getting slightly cooler in the UAE this month. We can walk to our cars or the grocery store without instantly breaking out into a sweat, and our glasses don’t fog up. This can only mean one thing – winter is just around the corner, and the popular outdoor attractions in Dubai are starting to reopen.
So take note of the opening dates of these key outdoor attractions in Dubai.
Now open: Dubai Miracle Garden
One of the most popular Dubai attractions, Dubai Miracle Garden is the world’s largest natural flower garden. It is quite the spectacle featuring 150 million blossoming flowers spanning over 72,000 square metres. The colourful heart-shaped arches we’ve all seen all over social media will once again become the backdrop for Instagram photoshoots galore. And, of course, we can’t forget the iconic life-size version of the Emirates A380. The park reopened its doors on Saturday September 28.
October 1: Dubai Safari Park
An outdoor space like no other, Dubai Safari Park allows you to get up close and personal with an incredible variety of wildlife – and it’s reopening on October 1. The 119-hectare site houses 3,000 animals, 78 species of mammals, 50 types of reptiles, 111 kinds of birds, and amphibians and invertebrates. It’s divided into four villages and offers numerous experiences the whole family will love.
October 1: Hatta Wadi Hub
There isn’t a spot quite as naturally beautiful as Hatta in Dubai. Away from all the hustle and bustle of the city, it is truly a retreat and best enjoyed when the temperatures get cooler. While you’re able to visit Hatta for hiking, or water-based sports on the lake, if you want to stay over and enjoy the breadth of activities at Hatta Wadi Hub, you need to wait for it to reopen for the season, which will be October 1 this year. If you have been meaning to visit Hatta but don’t have a car, you can take the express bus for Dhs25 per person.
October 16: Global Village UAE
Due to the summer season, we had to say a sad goodbye to Global Village UAE at the start of May 2024. But we now have great news: Global Village UAE is reopening its doors next month on Wednesday, October 16, 2024. Global Village UAE will remain open for seven months and will close for the season on Sunday, May 11, 2025. Over the seven months, there is ample time to tick off the things on your ‘Globby V bucket list’. We don’t have any updates on the new attractions just yet, but as soon as we know we will let you know. Read more here.
