Children under two and people of determination go free. Dubai Municipality lists the park as open **every day, 8:00–22:00**; several guides add that it stays open until 23:00 Thursday to Saturday and on public holidays. On paying: Gulf News reported that the gate takes cash at the counter, and cards or phone wallets at the self-service kiosks, and that nol is no longer accepted for entry — yet some guides still say you need a nol card. Carry a bank card and a little cash in dirhams and you're covered either way. You'll still want nol for the metro and bus. The fees are unofficial: Gulf News (October 2026), Property Finder and Dubai Online all give the same numbers, but the official ticketing site (Dubai Public Parks) is an app with no readable fare page. You can also prebook entry and chalets there. > **Mondays and Wednesdays are ladies days** On these days only women and children are admitted; boys can come in up to age six. The rule doesn't apply on public holidays or during Ramadan. Travelling as a couple, a family or a group with men? Pick Tuesday or Thursday to Sunday. The schedule is unofficial, so call Dubai Municipality on 800900 if your day is tight. ## How to get to Al Mamzar Beach Park 1. From Downtown (Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station), take the Red Line towards the airport to Union — 7 stops, about 15 minutes. Tap in with a nol card. 2. At Union, change to the Green Line towards e& (Etisalat) and ride 3 stops to Abu Hail. 3. From Abu Hail, take a taxi to the park gate — about 10 minutes and, by unofficial estimates, around AED 13–15. RTA taxis, Careem and Uber all work. 4. No taxi? Bus C28 runs from Gold Souq Bus Station in Deira to Mamzar Beach Park Terminus at the gate. Check the current route in the RTA app before you rely on it. 5. A taxi all the way from Downtown takes about 25–35 minutes outside rush hour. Getting a cab back in the evening can be slow, so book one in an app. ## Is Al Mamzar Beach Park free? No — the park itself charges a small fee, AED 5 on foot. What is free is the public beach next door: **Khor Al Mamzar Beach** (also called Mamzar Lagoon Beach) runs along the lagoon outside the park fence. Dubai Municipality reopened it on 5 May 2026 after a major revamp, adding a floating walkway, running and cycling tracks, padel and beach volleyball courts, and a 300-metre night beach open 24/7. So the choice is simple. Pay the AED 5 for the park if you want sheltered bays, lawns, pools and chalets for a full family day. Head for Khor Al Mamzar if you want to swim after sunset, jog or skip the ticket. ## What is Al Mamzar Beach Park like? It is a green, fenced peninsula of about a hundred hectares — sources say 99 or 106 — opened by Dubai Municipality in 1994. There are no landmarks here: you come for the water, the sand and the space. It feels like a local's park rather than a tourist beach, with families settling on the lawns with barbecues from the morning. The five beaches sit in sheltered bays. **Nouras, Murjan, Danah and Flamingo** are on the western side of the peninsula; **Sadaf** is on the eastern side. Waves are small and the water is shallow near the shore — the main reason families with toddlers choose it over a long open beach like [JBR](https://yesgo.io/united-arab-emirates/dubai/jbr-beach). Lifeguards are on duty during the day, so swim before sunset. ## Things to do at Al Mamzar Beach Park - Swim at one of five sheltered beaches with shades, tables and changing rooms. - Use the paid pools — there are adult and children's sections. - Bring a barbecue: there are designated grilling and picnic areas on the lawns. - Rent one of the 15 day chalets near Flamingo Beach, with air-con, a kitchenette, a washroom and an outdoor grill. - Let children loose on the playgrounds, or play on the free basketball, football and volleyball courts. - Rent a bike or run along the waterside paths. - There is a prayer room, cafés and toilets inside. ## Is it worth visiting? Yes, if you are travelling with young children or simply want a calm, cheap day by the sea away from the towers: entry costs less than a coffee, the water is gentle and there's plenty of room. It is a poor fit if you only have a day or two in Dubai — the trip from Downtown takes close to an hour each way by public transport, and beyond the sea and the lawns there's nothing to see. Go between November and April. In summer the midday heat is brutal and residents come only in the evening. Friday to Sunday is busiest — barbecue groups claim the lawns early — so a Tuesday or Thursday morning is the sweet spot. ## Is Al Mamzar in Dubai or Sharjah? Dubai. The park is in the Al Mamzar district of Deira, at the very northeast edge of the emirate, at the end of Al Khaleej Road. Sharjah starts just across the lagoon, which is why many hotels on the Sharjah side market themselves as being “at Al Mamzar” — those are a different emirate and different beaches. From the Burj Khalifa it's about 20 km; from DXB airport it is closer still, which makes it a handy last-day stop before an evening flight. ## Before you go: checklist - [ ] It is not Monday or Wednesday (if any men are coming) - [ ] A bank card and some cash in dirhams for entry - [ ] nol card topped up for the metro and bus - [ ] Own towel, umbrella and sunscreen - [ ] Water and snacks — food options inside are limited - [ ] Chalet booked ahead, if you want one for the day - [ ] Ride home booked in an app, not hailed at the gate ## Al Mamzar Beach Park vs Khor Al Mamzar Beach | | Al Mamzar Beach Park | Khor Al Mamzar Beach | | --- | --- | --- | | What it is | Fenced park with five beaches in sheltered bays | Open public beach along the lagoon, revamped in 2026 | | Entry | AED 5 per person | Free | | Hours | 8:00–22:00 | 300 m night beach open 24/7 | | Facilities | Pools, chalets, lawns, barbecues | Floating walkway, water sports, padel, running tracks | | Best for | Families, all-day picnics | Walks, sport, an evening swim | Ladies days, pools and chalets apply only to the park.

Khor Al Mamzar (Mamzar Lagoon Beach) next to it is free and opened its first phase on 5 May 2026; reports differ on whether its women-only beach is already open or comes with the second phase at Al Mamzar Corniche. ## Tips - Arrive at 8:00 opening time — the sand is cooler and nearly empty before noon. - Bring your own towel and umbrella; this isn't a resort beach with rental stands everywhere. - Men: avoid Mondays and Wednesdays — the park is for women and children only. - Do the [Gold Souk](https://yesgo.io/united-arab-emirates/dubai/dubai-gold-souk) in Deira in the morning — it's much closer to the park than Downtown is. - Want an after-dark swim? Use the 24/7 night beach at Khor Al Mamzar next door. ## Questions ### How much is the Al Mamzar Beach Park entry fee? AED 5 per person on foot or AED 30 per car; children under 2 and people of determination go free. The pools cost extra — about AED 10 for adults and AED 5 for children. These figures are unofficial. ### What are Al Mamzar Beach Park timings? Daily from 8:00 to 22:00, according to Dubai Municipality. Several guides say it stays open until 23:00 Thursday to Saturday and on public holidays. ### Which days are ladies days at Al Mamzar? Monday and Wednesday — only women, children and boys up to six are admitted. The rule is suspended on public holidays and during Ramadan. ### Is Al Mamzar Beach Park free? No, the park charges AED 5 per person. The neighbouring Khor Al Mamzar public beach along the lagoon is free. ### How do I get to Al Mamzar Beach Park by metro? There's no station at the park. Take the Green Line to Abu Hail or Al Qiyadah, then a taxi for about 10 minutes — or bus C28 from Gold Souq Bus Station. ### Can you pay with a nol card at Al Mamzar? Reports differ. Gulf News says entry is paid in cash or by card and phone wallet at the kiosks, not nol; some guides still say nol. Carry a bank card and some cash. ### Is Al Mamzar good for kids? Yes — it is one of the easiest beaches in Dubai with small children: calm bays, shallow water near the shore, playgrounds and a children's pool. ### How much is a chalet at Al Mamzar Beach Park? Unofficially AED 150 for a small chalet (up to 6 people) and AED 200 for a large one (8–12), plus 5% VAT. Book on the Dubai Public Parks website. ### Is Al Mamzar in Dubai or Sharjah? Dubai — in the Al Mamzar district of Deira. Sharjah begins just across the lagoon. ## How we checked Opening hours (8:00–22:00) come from Dubai Municipality's website, hence the “official” badge. Fees, ladies days, chalets and payment methods are not published in readable form — the Dubai Public Parks ticketing site is an app with no fare page — so they are unofficial: entry and pool fees match across Gulf News (October 2026) and Property Finder, ladies days across Gulf News and Dubai Online. Sources disagree on payment (Gulf News said in 2024 that nol is no longer accepted at the gate; Property Finder says it is needed), on the area (99 or 106 ha) and on late weekend hours, so we show both. Bus C28 and the taxi fare from the metro come from guides and are marked “verifying”; we leave out the 2024 weekend bus W20 from Stadium because we couldn't confirm it still runs. Metro times are counted by stations; taxi times are our estimate outside rush hour. Khor Al Mamzar facts come from the Dubai Media Office and Khaleej Times; we don't promise its women-only beach, as reports differ on the phase. ## Sources - Dubai Municipality (dm.gov.ae): Discover Dubai — beaches, Al Mamzar Beach Park hours; Al Mamzar Beach page — lagoon, lifeguards, 3 November 2026 - Government of Dubai Media Office: Dubai Municipality opens Khor Al Mamzar Beach to the public, 5 May 2026 - Khaleej Times: Dubai's Al Mamzar Beach reopening — 10 things to check out, 9 May 2026 - Gulf News: Park season is here — Dubai's outdoor parks for kids, 6 October 2026 (entry and pool fees) - Gulf News: book a chalet at Al Mamzar Beach Park, 2023, updated 2024 (chalets, hours, ladies days) - Gulf News: weekend bus to Al Mamzar Beach Park, 2024 (paying at the gate) - Dubai Online: Al Mamzar Beach Park (beaches, facilities, bus C28) - Property Finder: Al Mamzar Beach Park (opening year, area, pools) - English Wikipedia: Al Mamzar; Green Line (Dubai Metro) --- This is the Markdown version of a YesGo page for AI assistants.
