Sport and Leisure facilities in Dubai

Regarding big projects and developments in Dubai like malls, clubs, streets and buildings, sport and leisure have been a part of these growths. These facilities are not only to make people happy and spend their free time but to attract people around the world. This will increase the economic profits because tourists will spend their money in shopping, subscribing in clubs, going to entertainment cities like Wild Wadi Waterpark and Woderland, and sitting in coffee shops or restaurants. Also, you can enjoy walking or excising on Jumeirah beach or Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR). There are many places to visit in Dubai like Dubai Mall, Emirates Mall, Palm Island, JBR, Jumeirah beach and entertainment cities such as Wild Wadi Waterpark and Wonderland. In my essay, I’m going to describe some of these and how they became facilities for sport and leisure in Dubai city.

Dubai mall is not only the largest shopping mall in the UAE but it is the largest mall in the world. It covers an area of 13 million square feet; contains 1,200 shops so people can enjoy shopping and has a 22 screen Cineplex cinema for enjoying watching movies. Also there are 120 cafes and restaurants so you can taste delicious food or take a coffee and read magazines. In addition, it contains a very big and beautiful fish aquarium and water zoo where you can watch many different kinds of marine animals and take pictures. Moreover, they provide diving courses for those who like to be professional in diving with fish supervised by professional diving trainers. Another facility: the mall is provided with a gym and park containing a lot of games for both adults and children. Another one, you can play bowling and take courses if you would like to be professional player. Also, there are water shows that are like fireworks and draw beautiful different motions by water with a nice music. If you see this show, you will think the water is dancing to this music and you’ll adore the view. All of these help people to explore this mall and spend their free time.

Mall of the Emirates is one of the beautiful malls and considered as a resort. It consists of many different shops with 560 international brands, the largest Carrefour in Dubai, 14 screen VOX cinemas, 90 restaurants & cafes, the first indoor ski resort in the Middle East and the snow park. The Ski resort and Snow Park are considered as the first project in the UAE which make this mall different from other malls. Most people are coming to this mall to enjoy playing with snow and for skiing. In addition, there are trainers to give courses for people who like to learn how to ski or who want to become professional in this sport. So, people can enjoy walking, shopping, sitting in coffee shops and enjoying their free time. In fact, both Dubai Mall and Mall of Emirates are decorated with beautiful colors and different designs and introduce different shows every weekend such as acrobatic, theatrical and humorous shows that excite and attract people to them.

Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR) is called also the walk and it is a waterfront location which makes it special. You can enjoy walking on JBR and watching a lot of shops & coffee shops, enjoying living in high class apartments with beautiful sea views, doing exercises like swimming and running. Also, there is a similar place to JBR that is located on the sea such as Al Mamzar Beach Park. It is a quiet place for relaxing on the beach and for outings with family or friends. Moreover, it offers barbecue sites so some families who like to spend their weekend on this beach. In addition, it is provided with a flexible floor that allows you to do exercises like jogging or walking around the beach.

Wild Wadi Waterpark and Wonderland are considered as the world of fun. They are exciting places for enjoying with a lot of games. They open every day so you can go any day. Wonderland contains both water and wilderness games but Wild Wadi Waterpark contains only water games. Both offer one day a week for families in order to give families the comfort to enjoy the ramble with their children in these entertainment cities. On the other hand, Wild Wadi has a game for riding waves or surfing which does not exist in Wonderland and is considered as beautiful sport also. Yet, they provide courses to learn how to ride waves and to balance your body to obtain good control of the blade.

In conclusion, Dubai city becomes one of the modern cities that challenge the world in accommodating everything in the city. For instance; shopping malls, entertainment cities, long beaches provided with facilities of doing exercises and clubs. They try to be different from other cities. These facilities give people the pleasure, the place of finding anything they want, the comforting life and the availability of all international brands. So, people can spend their leisure time without the need to travel to other countries to do sports because everything is available in Dubai city.
