Cycling

Palm Jumeirah stretches into the Arabian Gulf in the shape of a palm tree and a surrounding crescent island that forms an 11kms-long breakwater. The 6 km walkway lining the water at Dubai Marina provides wide paths for cycling, rollerblading, walking and running. The open beach in Jumeirah also provides a good beach cycling path (opposite Jumeirah Mosque). Carry ID when cycling and wear a helmet (compulsory).

Jogging

The Palm is a popular running route for residents. Runners can travel along the 11.5 km Crescent or one way to the Atlantis route, around 5.5km. The Palm provides a very unique and beautiful coastline view that makes exercising very pleasant.

Fishing

Trips for bottom fishing for local reef fish or trolling trips for game fish such as kingfish, barracuda or the strong Queenfish. Boats are fully equipped with gear and refreshments.

Diving

The coast around Dubai is filled with wrecks, some dating back to the 1960s that were intentionally sunk to create new habitats for marine life. Gather interesting insights into the nautical history by diving around the East Coast, offering some of the best diving available in the U.A.E. Natural coral reefs flourish at coastal dive sites.

Swimming

Our lagoon and infinity pools are located in the central garden and are the ideal location for a nice relaxing swim. The private beach is another option where the sea is protected by the fronds of the Palm Jumeirah. Guests are asked to stay within the marked swimming area.
