A few weekends ago John and I visited Dubai Creek Park, a pleasant green space along the shores of Dubai Creek. Parking is free but there is an entrance fee of 5 Dhs to enter the gates.
We were surprised to find such a quiet place in Dubai. It was nice to get away from the crazy traffic and relax. The grass was so well kept that we took off our shoes and walked on it like a carpet!
At Creek Park there were lots of families using the playground equipment and having BBQs. There is a cable car that runs along the creek, as well as a Dolphinarium, bird show, and a place called Children's City, but you have to pay extra for these attractions. You can also rent bicycles, or ride a pony or camel inside the park. However, look out for camel pee... John and I accidentally stepped into a puddle of it on the grass, gross!
I hope to go back again some time to enjoy some peace and quiet, but next time I could do without any bodily fluids from camels!

I just love it that you can go for a CAMEL ride! Only in Dubai! :-)
